The funeral for Prince Phillip was beautifully done. Just the right amount of military fanfare and the ceremony was a liturgical masterpiece--music, black vestments et al. I loved how one news commentator stated, "By Prince Phillip's request, there will be no sermon, no eulogy and no prayers read by family members. It will be strictly by the book." It reminded me a bit of John F. Kennedy's Requiem low mass--the same for prince or pauper!
