Prince Philip’s coffin
The Duke will rest in a lead-lined English oak coffin, which was made for him more than 30 years ago. There is a matching one reserved for the Queen.
Members of the Royal Family are traditionally buried in lead-lined coffins because it helps preserve the body for longer.
Princess Diana’s coffin weighed a quarter of a tonne, due to the amount of lead lining.
The lead makes the coffin airtight, stopping any moisture from getting in. This allows the body to be preserved for up to a year.
