Prince Philip helped design his specially commissioned Land Rover funeral hearse

The Duke of Edinburgh's coffin will be carried in a customised, dark green Land Rover, in accordance with his long-held wishes.

Here's what we know about the modified Land Rover hearse that the duke himself had a hand in designing over the period of nearly two decades.

Supposedly the establishment wanted him to use a Toyota, as they are built in the UK etc. Prince Phillip vetoed this and said, "whats the bloddy point, I'm not coming back"
