Prince Philip funeral: Royal Family set to gather at Windsor Castle

BBC World Service - Weekend, Prince Philip funeral: Royal Family set to gather at Windsor Castle

Service remembering Prince Philip to begin today

The funeral of Prince Philip, the late husband of Queen Elizabeth, will take place today at Windsor Castle, west of London. A small group of family members - including his four children and Princes William and Harry - will walk in procession behind his coffin.  

Also in this hour: following the announcement of Raul Castro’s plans to step down from office, we reflect on his legacy; and a look at a new authorised biography on American writer Philip Roth.
