Prince Philip honoured his beloved uncle Lord Mountbatten in his choice of funeral music.The Duke of Edinburgh painstakingly organised his funeral in the years before his death last week aged 99.That included everything from selecting the vehicle taking his coffin to the service - a custom Land Rover he helped design - to choosing the music during the ceremony. Amongst that music is a nod to the Duke's beloved uncle Lord Louis Mountbatten of Burma, killed by an IRA bomb in 1979.
