A remembrance service for the Duke of Edinburgh is to be held in Canterbury Cathedral on Sunday morning as the UK observes a period of official mourning.
It will be led by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, who is also expected to lead Prince Philip’s funeral next Saturday.
Some sporting events have been rescheduled during eight days of national mourning.
The Prince of Wales has said his “dear papa” will be missed “enormously”.
The period of national mourning will end after 17 April, when Prince Philip’s funeral will take place at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.
A national minute’s silence will be held to coincide with the start of the funeral at 15:00 BST.
New government guidance says it is up to individual businesses whether or not they close during this time, while organisers of sporting events have been told they can choose whether or not fixtures go ahead.
The EFL said it would move next Saturday’s 15:00 games “as a mark of respect”.
Other events scheduled for Saturday include the FA Cup semi-final between Chelsea and Manchester City and two women’s Six Nations rugby matches.
Only 30 people – expected to be the duke’s children, grandchildren and other close family – can attend the funeral because of Covid rules.
No 10 said Prime Minister Boris Johnson will not attend the to allow “as many family members as possible” to go.
The public has been asked to stay away.
People laid flowers at Windsor Castle over the weekend, but the new government guidance asks the public to refrain from doing so and to give to charity instead.
The duke died at Windsor Castle on Friday, aged 99.
Funeral arrangements for next weekend, which Buckingham Palace said “very much” reflect Prince Philip’s wishes, have been adapted in light of the coronavirus pandemic.
The televised service will be a ceremonial event rather than a large state affair usually associated with the death of a monarch.
