UK royals attend memorial service for Prince Philip

Queen Elizabeth II attended a service of thanksgiving for her late husband, Prince Philip, at Westminster Abbey on Tuesday. About 1,800 family members and guests attended the memorial. Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, died on last April at the age of 99. The Rev. David Conner remembered Philip’s service to the queen and dedication to environmental protection and his commitment to equipping young people with the skills they need to succeed through his Duke of Edinburgh Award. More than 6.7 million teenagers and young adults have taken part in the program since 1956. The entrances to Westminster Abbey were lined by winners of the program’s top honor, the Gold Award, as well as members of youth cadet associations - a touch requested by Philip.
