The Land Rover that will be used to transport the Duke of Edinburgh's coffin in a ceremonial funeral procession through the grounds of Windsor Castle next week was designed with help from him, it has emerged.

In a tribute to Prince Philip, the cortege will see a purpose-built vehicle used that was specially modified to carry a coffin in a project that the duke helped with more than a decade ago.

The vehicle is believed to be a modified Defender 130 Gun Bus, which was commissioned in 2005. In 2016, Foley Specialist Vehicles said it delivered a totally rebuilt Gun Bus to Philip for use on his estates.

It was made to his specifications in traditional deep bronze green, and built onto a galvanised chassis and handbuilt rear body.

The Land Rover will process through the grounds of the castle ahead of the duke's funeral on Saturday at St George's Chapel.
