A Service of Thanksgiving for Prince Philip was held in London on Tuesday.
The Queen's husband died on April 9, 2021, at the age of 99.
Many who weren't able to attend his funeral service last year due to COVID-19 honored his memory.
A Service of Thanksgiving for the life of the Duke of Edinburgh was held at London's Westminster Abbey on Tuesday.
Prince Philip died at the age of 99 on April 9. His funeral, which took place on April 17, was attended by 30 guests due to the UK's COVID-19 restrictions at the time.
Attendees started arriving an hour before the service was scheduled to begin at 11:30 a.m.
Politicians who weren't able to attend the funeral, including the UK's Prime Minister Boris Johnson, were among those who made an appearance at Tuesday's service.
Royals from around the world were also in attendance. Princess Beatrice, Queen Maxima, and King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands are pictured arriving below.
Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their children Prince George and Princess Charlotte attended. The couple's youngest son, Prince Louis, was absent.
Guests dressed in muted tones. The Duchess of Cambridge paired a black-and-white, polka-dot dress with a black fascinator.
Princess Anne, the Duchess of Cornwall, Queen Elizabeth, and Queen Letizia of Spain (not pictured) wore dark green, thought to be a tribute to the duke's official livery color, according to Metro.

Members of the British royal family were seated together.
The Queen and Prince Andrew were the last to arrive.
Andrew escorted the monarch to her seat before taking his own seat on the other side of the aisle. It's thought to be the prince's first public appearance since settling a sexual-assault lawsuit earlier this year.

At Prince Philip's funeral, Her Majesty sat alone due to social distancing. At the memorial service, she was seated next to her family: Prince Charles; Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall; Princess Anne; and Vice Admiral Timothy Laurence.
Guests sang hymns at the service, which they weren't able to do at the funeral service due to the country's COVID-19 restrictions at the time.
The ceremony lasted for around an hour. While some people stayed behind and chatted, others were pictured leaving Westminster Abbey after the service ended.
The Queen and Prince Andrew were seen sharing a car as they left the service together.
