The Duke who passed away peacefully last Thursday at the age of 99 was farewelled in an intimate service led by the Archbishop of Canterbury and Dean of Windsor, who spoke of the “unwavering support” Philip gave the Queen over their 73-year marriage.

This outfit is superb. Very regal and so elegant. Love the pearl choker necklace and pearl earrings. I have never seen the Duchess look more lovely.

Totally agree with all comments, especially Catherine. I always comment on her perfection with make up and hair, etc but this time she really did look perfect. I loved the black tie coat. Sorry it was a sombre occasion, my condolences to the Duke, Duchess and family.

Until I read your column, I didn't appreciate there was a separate dress underneath the Catherine Walker coatdress. It all fits so well on Duchess Catherine. She looks supremely elegant and the total look is truly befitting of this sombre occasion. Jewellery, coat, mask, shoes and clutch have all been chosen with care and together she delivers a compelling and unforgettable look
