People flock to Buckingham Palace to mourn Prince Philip’s death with flowers
Following Prince Philip’s death, the outpouring of well-wishes for the Queen and the rest of the Royal Family was palpable throughout London and the world.
Statements and tributes have been made by many in positions of authority, including Prime Minister Boris Johnson and London Mayor Sadiq Khan.
Members of the public have left hundreds of bouquets of flowers and letters along the walls of Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle in remembrance of the Duke of Edinburgh, with others coming from as far as Kent.
The Royal Family, on the other hand, has asked that mourners refrain from undertaking a pilgrimage to pay their respects.
In order to limit the size of the crowd due to coronavirus constraints, the audience was invited to approach the Palace gates one by one to lay their tributes.

The Duke of Edinburgh, who had been married to the Queen for 73 years, died “peacefully” on Friday morning at Windsor Castle, at the age of 99.
After the Duke’s death, hundreds of people have felt compelled to visit Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle to pay their respects and lay flowers in his memory, despite warnings to keep away due to coronavirus issues.
As the UK mourns the death of its longest-serving consort, who won the nation over with his loyal service and wit, dozens of bouquets have been placed.
Many that show up against Covid prohibitions and Palace requests are having bouquets, cards, and other tributes taken away by royal workers shortly after they are installed.
Officials insist that they would be preserved and displayed elsewhere on the grounds.
Floral tributes were laid outside Cambridge Gate in Windsor, at the peak of the Long Walk leading to Windsor Castle, where Philip died on Friday.
Throughout the day, tributes will be removed “respectfully” and brought to a private place inside the castle grounds, where they will be displayed, according to a Windsor Great Park spokesperson.
One mourner also leaving a glass of wine outside the gates.
Frogmore House has a big white marquee with all the roses that had been left.
Outside Buckingham Palace, several mourners were seen holding back tears after the nation’s longest-serving consort died.
Others embraced and bent in prayer, while one man tipped his hat in honor of the Duke of Edinburgh.
Buckingham Palace sent a message urging citizens not to congregate and to adhere to coronavirus guidelines.
On Friday, a sea of flowers was left outside the palace and Windsor Castle, but a royal spokeswoman said that instead of flowers, citizens could contribute to charity.
Ministers echoed their point, saying that ‘floral tributes should not be laid at royal residences at this time.’
‘Although this is an extraordinarily difficult time for many, we are asking the public not to gather at royal residences and continue to follow public health advice, particularly on avoiding meeting in large groups and on minimising travel,’ a Cabinet Office spokesman said.
‘We are supporting the royal household in asking that floral tributes should not be laid at royal residences at this time.’
On its official website, the Palace opened an online book of condolences, encouraging people to leave comments, a list of which would be sent to representatives of the Royal Family.
Mourners arranged more than 100 floral tributes and two union jacks at the door, varying from bunches of daffodils to fuller bouquets, each with remarks attached.
Stewards sought to create an organized queueing scheme, but discouraged citizens from congregating in big groups.
Mounted police reminded those in attendance to follow social-distancing instructions to keep a two-metre distance between themselves and other groups.
