LONDON (Reuters) – Rehearsals were underway for Britain's military on Wednesday and Tuesday, ahead of Prince Philip's funeral on Saturday.

Military personnel were seen rehearsing for their various roles in the funeral at the Army Training Centre (ATC) Pirbright in Surrey, England.

Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth's husband who died on April 9 aged 99, will have a ceremonial funeral at St George's Chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle without any public access, Buckingham Palace said.

The Duke of Edinburgh, as he was officially known, married Elizabeth in 1947.
