Prince Philip: A Service of Thanksgiving for HRH The Duke of Edinburgh 2022
From Westminster Abbey, Huw Edwards presents live coverage of the service of thanksgiving in memory of HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, the longest serving royal consort in history, who died last April at the age of 99.
Featuring readings and music close to the duke’s heart, the service commemorates the life and legacy of HM The Queen’s remarkable consort. Members of the royal family and members of the duke’s family will attend, as well as representatives from the many organisations the duke supported who were unable to attend the funeral, which was scaled down due to Covid-19 restrictions.
Prince Philip supported an exceptional number of causes during his lifetime, becoming patron of many hundreds of charities and organisations championing conservation, sport, industry and education. In 1956 he founded the Duke of Edinburgh Awards scheme to encourage the development of young people, which has since expanded to 144 nations and been completed by millions of young people around the world.
In the build-up to the service, Huw Edwards talks to those attending about the remarkable legacy the duke leaves behind.

Secrets of the Museum S03E01 - Victoria and Albert Museum - BBC Documentary
Inside every museum is a hidden world, and now cameras are returning to the V&A, going behind the scenes to parts of the Victoria and Albert Museum never seen before.
Curator Annemarie prepares a major new exhibition on Beatrix Potter. The V&A holds the world’s largest collection of the author’s sketches, illustrations and writings, and now Annemarie is hoping the exhibition will highlight Potter’s special relationship with the natural world.
Curator Simon has also been scouring the stores – looking for special props and costumes from stage and screen to loan out to a new museum of showbusiness history, called Showtown, due to open in Blackpool in 2023. He’s found an original magic trick prop used many times by much-loved magician and comedian Tommy Cooper.
Meanwhile curator Catherine is taking delivery of one of the museum’s newest acquisitions – an eight foot tall painting by African-American artist Kehinde Wiley. The painting is a portrait of a 35-year-old woman from Dalston in east London, Melissa Thompson. Wiley has painted sitters from Spike Lee to Barack Obama, but his new work sees ordinary people captured in poses of power and majesty. Catherine goes to meet Melissa at Ridley Road market in Dalston to learn what it was like to be painted by Wiley.
