Funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh (1921-2021)

Did you watch the ceremony? I thought it was so beautiful and moving, full of symbolism and emotion.
Here's a video about the Duke's insignia that were on display
Thank You for sharing those pictures Isabelle D! I tried to round up the more significant jewels and orders in my article on the Funeral.
Yes, those are the Queen's Bahrain Pearl Earrings along with the Queen's Japanese Pearl Choker. I was actually thinking a few hours before the funeral how it would be really sweet if the Duchess wore those earrings.
The Countess of Wessex wore the heart brooch given to her by Prince Edward as a first anniversary present. It can also be worn as the clasp of a choker. Lady Louise wore a brooch connected to carriage driving, a hobby she shared with her late grandfather.
Countess Mountbatten wore a Diamond Floral Brooch that fellow poster JR and I call her 'Funeral Brooch' because she also wore it to the funeral of her mother-in-law, and of Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg!
