As the world paused to remember Prince Philip, two New Zealanders played a part in his final farewell - at his request.
Just four voices filled St George's Chapel yesterday to farewell the Duke of Edinburgh Prince Philip - and one of them was a Kiwi.
Three lay clerks of St George's Chapel Choir – singers who are not members of the clergy – were joined by classical soprano Miriam Allan to perform the programme, which included the seafaring hymn Eternal Father, Strong To Save.
Among the quartet was New Zealand-born Nicholas Madden, formerly of Dunedin, who is a member of the Queen's Six, a classical music group established in 2008 on the 450th anniversary of the accession of Queen Elizabeth I.
