Weather to be ‘calm, settled, with sunny spells’

THE weather is due to be “very calm and settled” for the funeral, forecasters say.

A spokesman for the Met Office said: “The conditions around Windsor are similar to many areas across the South East. We’ll see highs of 15C, possibly 16C, in isolated spots. The conditions should be dry. There may be some light cloud but there will also be clear sunny spells.

“It will feel warm in the sunshine and should remain reasonably bright and not too windy during the day.

“There won’t be much of a breeze at all. Conditions will be very calm and settled.” The funeral will not be disturbed by planes flying to or from Heathrow – which is just six miles from Windsor – airport bosses said.

In addition, no jets will take off or land for a six-minute period coinciding with the 3pm national one-minute silence.
