The Queen has arrived at her husband Prince Philip's funeral with her lady-in-waiting Lady Susan Hussey.

Many were googling 'Who is with the Queen today?' and 'Who is in the car with the Queen'.

The Queen travelled with her lady-in-waiting Lady Susan Hussey, who has been with her for many decades. Lady Susan, 81, is very close to the family, acting as one of the Duke of Cambridge’s godparents.

Today sees Prince Philip's funeral after the Queen's consort passed away at the age of 99. In a normal situation, friends and family would be preparing for an event on a massive scale, and foreign dignitaries would have been scheduling their flights to pay their respect for the head of state's late husband. Now, of course, these plans have had to change. The family has confirmed that they will hold a ceremony in line with government regulations, meaning that only thirty people will be able to attend. So who is going?

Who will attend Prince Philip's funeral?

The family in the procession will be William, Duke of Cambridge, who will stand shoulder to shoulder with his cousin Peter Phillips, who will have Harry, Duke of Sussex beside him. Prince Charles will stand beside his sister Princess Anne, with the Earl of Wessex beside the Duke of York.

Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, husband to Anne, and and Lord Snowden will also walk in the procession. There will also be Personal Protection Officers and valets.

The Duchess of Cornwall, The Countess of Wessex, James Viscount Severn, Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor, the Duchess of Cambridge, Mike and Zara Tindall, Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, Lady Sarah Chatto and Daniel Chatto, the Duke of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent and Princess Alexandra will also be in attendance.

We know that Boris Johnson will not attend, as Downing Street has stated that he will stay away to allow a true friend or relative to make the most of the few spaces available. Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, will also not be there. She was advised by doctors to stay in the US, due to being heavily pregnant. And finally, great-grandchildren are thought to be staying away: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are among the young children who are not expected at the service.

Members of the clergy are not included within the thirty people allowed.
