Prince Philip’s funeral procession gets ready in Windsor

13 Sept 08:37 Key points summarised by AI

Prince Philip's funeral procession at Windsor Castle featured military honors and a specially adapted Land Rover, designed by Philip himself, carrying his coffin to St. George's Chapel.
The service was a blend of military and royal tradition, reflecting Philip's naval service and personal preferences, including no sermon and the "Action Stations" bugle call.
Due to coronavirus restrictions, only 30 mourners attended inside the chapel, with Queen Elizabeth II sitting alone, while the public was asked to refrain from gathering.
The ceremony honored Philip's "unwavering loyalty," service to the nation, and his "courage, fortitude and faith," with elements like his Royal Navy cap and sword on the coffin.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
