A celebration of life service for the late husband of Lady Gabriella Windsor, Thomas Kingston, was held at St Mary Abbotts church in Kensington, West London on Saturday.

However, both the King and Queen as well as the Prince and Princess of Wales did not attend. Speaking on behalf of the family, a representative expressed: "Lady Gabriella and the Kingston family have been deeply touched by the outpouring of love, kindness and support they have received over the past difficult months." "They were grateful today for the chance to celebrate and give thanks for the life of a wonderful man, among so many of those who knew and loved him too."
