Prince Philip's funeral the key moments

  


   

            

     it was   breathtaking good boat under the bluest of skies polished metalglinted and heads were bound


as what you might call the duke's second
family700 members of the british armed forces waited to say farewell to a serviceman anaval officer and one of the last veterans of the
second world warprince philip's coffin was carried from the state entrance of windsor castle
covered in his personal scandal alongwith his sword
it was placed upon a land rover painted military green
a vehicle designed and adapted into ahearse by the man now being carried upon itin contrast to the vibrant colours on the quadrangle lawn behind the coffin the windsor family assembled
dressed in black medals but nomilitary uniforms and as the national anthem played her
majesty the queen made her first appearance in public since the loss of her husband
and where he would normally be by her side was her lady in waiting
[Applause][Music]
prince philip held 42 appointments in the british armed forces and commonwealth including lord high admiral so it was fitting that all parts of the military accompanied him on his final journey
during the procession every minute thesound of drums and trumpets was pierced by a bell toll from the
curfew tower a message of love from the queen while his stamp was on every part of this ceremony it was his absence that was most keenly apparent the queen entering the chapel alone
looking more solitary than ever[Music] prince charles and princess anne led the funeral procession
with prince harry and prince william either side of the queen's eldest grandchild peter phillips
a royal navy piping party played the still as the land rover stopped at st george's chapel
the bearing party of royal marines carried the coffin up the steps pausing for a minute's
silence the queen sat alone inside and covered rules limited the number of mourners to 30.
the dean of windsor led the service we have been inspired by his unwavering loyalty
to our queen by his service to the nation and the commonwealth by his courage fortitude
and faith our lives have been enriched through the challenges that he has set us the
encouragement that he has given us his kindness humor and humanity in the cavernous chapel
a chorus of three choristers and a soprano sang eternal father strong to save traditionally associated with the navy it was sung at the funeral of the duke's beloved uncle lord mountbatten
every key event of the queen's life has been watched by millions but today her mask and brimmed hat gave this most public of figures some privacy in this intimate last moment with her lifelong companion we remember before thee this day philip duke of edinburgh
rendering thanks unto thee for his resolute faith and loyalty for his high sense of duty and integrity for his life of service to the nation and commonwealth and for the courage and inspiration of  his leadership on the altar were prominent awards the duke had earned
including medals from the second world war he'd wanted little fuss and the pandemic ensured this was a simple service and therefore perhaps more relatable to the many who've lost loved ones in recent times who've also been restricted by the rules as his coffin was lowered to a vault below the chapel a single piper played and the moment didn't need the presence of foreign dignitaries monarchs or presidents
its power was in its simplicity after the playing of the last post the queen was led out of the chapel
the palace says due to restrictions there was no social event afterwards in its place the rest of the family decided to walk from the chapel rather than take cars this interaction between over harry's departure to the u.s and oprah winfrey interview the queen will need family unity now
she's been our longest reigning monarch but for the first time in 73 years at nearly 95 years old she carries on without her consort her closest friend and husband n princes harry and william
a possible first sign of reconciliation after their rift over harry's departure to the u.s and
oprah winfrey interview the queen will need family unity now she's been our longest reigning monarch but for the first time in 73 years at nearly 95 years old she carries on
without her consort her closest friend and husband .

Clean Water And Sanitation Effect On Climate Change

   Clean Water And Sanitation  Effect On Climate Change    Clean water and sanitation play a crucial role in both mitigating and adapting to climate change. Here are some ways in which clean water and sanitation can have an effect on climate change: Clean Water And Sanitation  Effect On Climate Change   Water Management and Conservation : Sustainable water management practices can help reduce water consumption, minimizing the energy required for water treatment and distribution. By conserving water, we can decrease the energy footprint associated with pumping, treating, and heating water, which in turn reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Wastewater Treatment and Methane Emissions : Proper wastewater treatment is essential to prevent the release of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere. Methane is generated when organic matter in wastewater decomposes anaerobically. By treating wastewater effectively, we can capture and utilize methane as a renewable energy source, reducin

Climate Change Effect of Life On Land

    Climate Change Effect of Life On Land   Climate change has significant effects on life on land, including terrestrial ecosystems, plant and animal species, and human communities. Here are some of the key impacts of climate change on life on land:   Climate Change Effect of Life On Land Changing Ecosystems : Climate change can alter the structure and functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. Warmer temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and shifts in growing seasons can affect the distribution and composition of plant and animal species. Biodiversity Loss : Many plant and animal species are vulnerable to climate change, especially those with limited geographic ranges or specialized habitat requirements. As the climate changes, some species may struggle to adapt or find suitable habitats, leading to biodiversity loss and potential extinctions. Climate Change Effect of Life On Land   Habitat Loss : Rising temperatures and altered precipitation can result in the loss and fragment

Climate Change Partnership For Goal

 Climate Change Partnership For Goal      It seems like you might be referring to the Paris Agreement, which is a global partnership for addressing climate change and achieving specific climate goals. The Paris Agreement is an international treaty within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), adopted in December 2015, and entered into force in November 2016. Climate Change Partnership For Goal   The main goal of the Paris Agreement is to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, with an ambition to pursue efforts to limit it to 1.5 degrees Celsius. This is critical to avoiding the most severe impacts of climate change. Key aspects and components of the Paris Agreement partnership for climate action include: Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) : Each country is required to submit its own climate action plan, known as its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). These plans outline the country's commitments
