Princess Anne's son said what broke him apart at the funeral was how the Queen sat alone

Peter Phillips, Queen Elizabeth's grandson revealed the most gut-wrenching moment  of when he had to pay his last respects to Prince Philip.

Princess Anne's son said what broke him apart at the funeral was how the Queen sat alone and he was not able to hug her.

"Our thoughts immediately went to my grandmother. We've been trying to support her as much as we can," Peter told BBC.

"Everybody saw the image of Her Majesty sitting alone. It would have been the same for any other family, the hardest part is not being able to hug those closest to the person who's been lost," he added.

"It's the same for a lot of families," Phillips continued. "There have been some great sadnesses but at the same time you've got to try to take the positives out of these situations, whether that be new life, or happy memories, that's what you've got to focus on."

Of Philip's legacy, the father of two added, "He was such a fixture of all of our lives. He is sorely missed. He lived a remarkable life and if any of us can even live half the life that he did, we would all be extraordinarily happy."
