A custom-built Land Rover Defender hearse, which Prince Philip himself helped to design, will carry his coffin on its final journey on Saturday, Buckingham Palace has announced.

The green Land Rover bearing the prince's coffin – draped in his personal standard, a wreath of flowers and his naval cap and sword – will be followed by the Prince of Wales and other senior Royals on foot.
