Uniforms explainedRoyal funerals in the past have featured hymns and more recently, special tributes by musicians, and here, Daily Star takes a look at the music we could expect to hear at the service.This would not be uncommon, as royal funerals in recent decades have included music that has been linked closely to the lives and service of those who have died - including those of The Duke Of Edinburgh and Princess Diana.At Princess Diana's funeral in 1997, the musical choices are reported to have been chosen to reflect Diana as a person.These include John Tavener's Song for Athene and Libera Me, and Domine from Verdi's Requiem.The Duke Of Edinburgh's funeral service also included the hymn Eternal Father, Strong To Save, in a nod to Prince Phillip's service in the Royal Navy.Although it is not known what music will be played at the service, it is likely that The Queen's funeral will follow precedent and feature songs that will pay tribute to the monarch's life and dedication to the throne.It is possible that The Queen's funeral could include songs and hymns chosen by the monarch before her death.Prior to the death of Princess Margaret, The Queen's sister had chosen her own funeral service to be centred around the musical piece Faure's Requiem.
