The Archbishop of Canterbury says the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral will be a "profound" chance for the Queen to say farewell to her husband of 73 years.
Justin Welby said he expected the Queen at the service to "behave with the extraordinary dignity, extraordinary courage that she always does".
Prince Philip's funeral will take place at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle tomorrow.
BBC News reports the duke's children will walk behind his hearse during the procession.
At the ceremony, there will only be 30 mourners in line with coronavirus restrictions.
Buckingham Palace said the Queen had faced "some very difficult" decisions in selecting the mourners from the 800-strong congregation originally planned, and she wanted all branches of her husband's family to be represented.
Speaking to the BBC, Welby said many people had seen family members die in the Covid pandemic this year and the funeral service would "resonate very deeply for a lot of people".
The archbishop, who will pronounce the blessing at the funeral service, suggested that people of faith could pray for the Queen, or alternatively "sympathise and in their hearts offer their condolences to her and the hope for her to find strength in what must be an anguished moment".
BBC News reports the Queen has decided that there will be no military uniforms worn by members of the Royal Family, and those attending will instead wear morning coats with medals, or day dress.
