El coche fúnebre del duque de Edimburgo será el Land Rover que ayudó a diseñar 11 de abril de 2021 El viernes, el consorte durante tanto tiempo de Su Majestad la Reina, el duque de Edimburgo, murió pacíficamente en el Castillo de Windsor, dos meses antes de cumplir 100 años. El 17 de abril, será sepultado después de una pequeña ceremonia en la capilla privada en los terrenos del castillo. El Palacio de Buckingham ha anunciado que, debido a la actual crisis de salud y las restricciones aún vigentes, la procesión fúnebre no estará abierta al público de ninguna forma. La asistencia familiar se limitará a solo 30 miembros. La misma declaración señala que el cuerpo del Duque será transportado desde el Castillo de Windsor a la Capilla de San Jorge "en un Land Rover especialmente modificado que él ayudó a diseñar". El Palacio señala que la procesión fúnebre se realizará de acuerdo con los deseos del Duque. El duque, que nunca era el tipo de hombre que no decía lo que pensaba, solía bromear sobre los preparativos de su propio funeral. Una vez dijo: "Sólo méteme en la parte trasera de un Land Rover y llévame a Windsor". El Palacio no incluyó más detalles sobre el vehículo, pero elBirmingham Mail informa que el Land Rover en cuestión es el Defender 130 Gun Bus que se puso en servicio en 2005. Los representantes de Jaguar Land Rover se reunieron con el Duke durante 45 minutos, y el Gun Bus fue el resultado de esa extensa charla. La Familia Real y Jaguar Land Rover tienen una colaboración muy sólida que se remonta a décadas. Los miembros de la familia siempre utilizan los Land Rover cuando están en funciones oficiales, y el duque los apreciaba especialmente. En 2016, Foley Specialist Vehicles le entregó una conversión Defender 130 Gun Bus en una de sus propiedades, y parece que solo lo condujo allí. El duque estuvo involucrado en un grave accidente automovilísticoen enero de 2019, cerca de Sandringham Estate, la casa privada de la reina. Estaba saliendo de la finca hacia la vía pública, cuando fue cegado por el sol y un Kia T entrante golpeó su Freelander 2 . El Land Rover se volcó y, aunque no llevaba el cinturón de seguridad (los Reales nunca lo hacen , por razones de seguridad), no resultó gravemente herido. Meses después de este accidente y hasta bien entrado el año 97, el Duque dejó de conducir en la vía pública, pero aún lo haría en la propiedad. De hecho, horas después del accidente, hizo que le entregaran el reemplazo de Land Rover hasta ese final. --------------------------- The Duke of Edinburgh’s Funeral Car Will Be the Land Rover He Helped Design 11 Apr 2021 On Friday, long-serving Consort to Her Majesty the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, died peacefully at Windsor Castle, two months shy of his 100th birthday. On April 17, he will be laid to rest after a small ceremony at the private chapel on the Castle grounds. Buckingham Palace has announced that, due to the ongoing health crisis and still standing restrictions, the funeral procession will not be open to the public in any shape or form. Family attendance will be limited to just 30 members. The same statement notes that the Duke’s body will be transported from Windsor Castle to St George’s Chapel “in a specially modified Land Rover he helped to design.” The Palace notes that the funeral procession will be in keeping with the Duke’s wishes. Never the kind of man to not speak his mind, the Duke would often joke about the arrangements to his own funeral. He once said, “Just stick me in the back of a Land Rover and drive me to Windsor.” The Palace did not include more details on the vehicle, but the Birmingham Mail reports that the Land Rover in question is the Defender 130 Gun Bus that was commissioned in 2005. Jaguar Land Rover representatives met with the Duke for 45 minutes, and the Gun Bus was the outcome of that extended talk. The Royal Family and Jaguar Land Rover have a very strong collaboration going back decades. Land Rovers are always used by members of the family when out in official capacity, and the Duke was particularly fond of them. In 2016, he had a Defender 130 Gun Bus conversion by Foley Specialist Vehicles delivered to one of his estates, and it looks like he only drove it there. The Duke was involved in a serious car accident in January 2019, near Sandringham Estate, the Queen’s private home. He was coming off the estate onto the public road, when he was blinded by the sun and an incoming Kia T-boned his Freelander 2. The Land Rover flipped and, even though he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt (Royals never do, for security reasons), he wasn’t seriously injured. Months after this crash and well into his 97th year, the Duke gave up driving on public roads, but would still do so on the estate. In fact, hours after the crash, he had Land Rover replacement delivered to that very end.
Me ha llamado la atención el hecho de que consideren un privilegio no tener que usar cinturón, yo me lo pongo de buena gana, puede salvarte la vida
El artículo mete ahí la pata igual que dice que no llevaba cinturón cuando tuvo el accidente. Si lo llevaba.
Harlow dealership sold Land Rover Defender that Philip chose to carry his coffin April 11, 2021 The Duke of Edinburgh will be transported to his funeral in a Land Rover he helped to design, and believed to have been sold by a specialist dealership in Harlow. The vehicle is believed to be a modified Defender 130 Gun Bus, which was commissioned in 2005. According to PA News, this would match a totally rebuilt Land Rover delivered by Foley Specialist Vehicles in 2016. The purpose-built Land Rover was specially modified to carry a coffin – in a project that the duke helped with many years ago. The car dealer said it delivered a totally rebuilt Gun Bus to Philip for use on his estates. It was made to his specifications in traditional deep bronze green, and built onto a galvanised chassis and hand-built rear body. The Land Rover will process slowly through the grounds of Windsor Castle ahead of the duke’s funeral on Saturday at St George’s Chapel. We have just delivered a totally rebuilt 130 Defender Gun Bus to the Duke of Edinburgh for use on one of the Estates…. Posted by Foley Specialist Vehicles Ltd on Monday, 28 November 2016 A bearer party from the Grenadier Guards will place the coffin on the Land Rover at the state entrance of the castle, before the vehicle begins the eight-minute journey – at walking pace – to the west steps of the chapel. It will be flanked by pall bearers reflecting the duke’s special relationships with the military – the Royal Marines, Regiments, Corps and Air Stations. Immediately behind the Land Rover, the Prince of Wales and other members of the royal family, likely to be the duke’s other children and some of his grandchildren, will proceed on foot. The Land Rover’s poignant role in the funeral proceedings always formed part of Operation Forth Bridge – the codename given to the plans following Philip’s death. A Palace spokesman said: ‘The duke had a great interest in design so that is where the involvement of the Land Rover comes from. ‘The Land Rover was very much part of the original plans as approved by the duke.’ A senior Palace official added: ‘The Duke of Edinburgh had a hand many years ago in the design of these vehicles.’ The official added that there were two Land Rovers for ‘belt and braces’. ......................... El concesionario de Harlow vendió el Land Rover Defender que Philip eligió para llevar su ataúd 11 de abril de 2021 El duque de Edimburgo será transportado a su funeral en un Land Rover que ayudó a diseñar y que se cree que fue vendido por un concesionario especializado en Harlow. Se cree que el vehículo es un Defender 130 Gun Bus modificado, que se puso en servicio en 2005. Según PA News, esto coincidiría con un Land Rover totalmente reconstruido entregado por Foley Specialist Vehicles en 2016. El Land Rover especialmente diseñado se modificó especialmente para llevar un ataúd, en un proyecto en el que el duque ayudó hace muchos años. El concesionario de automóviles dijo que entregó un Gun Bus totalmente reconstruido a Philip para que lo usara en sus propiedades. Se fabricó según sus especificaciones en el tradicional color verde bronce oscuro, y se construyó sobre un chasis galvanizado y una carrocería trasera hecha a mano. El Land Rover recorrerá lentamente los terrenos del Castillo de Windsor antes del funeral del duque el sábado en la Capilla de San Jorge. Acabamos de entregar un Defender Gun Bus 130 totalmente reconstruido al duque de Edimburgo para su uso en una de las fincas…. Publicado por Foley Specialist Vehicles Ltd el lunes 28 de noviembre de 2016 Un grupo de portadores de la Guardia de Granaderos colocará el ataúd en el Land Rover en la entrada estatal del castillo, antes de que el vehículo comience el viaje de ocho minutos, a paso de peatones, hacia los escalones occidentales de la capilla. Estará flanqueado por portadores del féretro que reflejan las relaciones especiales del duque con los militares: los Royal Marines, Regiment, Corps y Air Stations. Inmediatamente detrás del Land Rover, el Príncipe de Gales y otros miembros de la familia real, probablemente los otros hijos del duque y algunos de sus nietos, avanzarán a pie. El conmovedor papel del Land Rover en los procedimientos funerarios siempre formó parte de la Operación Forth Bridge, el nombre en clave que se les dio a los planes tras la muerte de Philip. Un portavoz de Palace dijo: 'El duque tenía un gran interés en el diseño, por lo que de ahí proviene la participación del Land Rover. "El Land Rover formaba parte en gran medida de los planes originales aprobados por el duque". Un alto funcionario del Palacio agregó: "El duque de Edimburgo participó hace muchos años en el diseño de estos vehículos". El funcionario agregó que había dos Land Rover para 'cinturón y tirantes'.
Cierto que en el accidente si lo llevaba, pero es que les han pillado sin cinturón varias veces y se rumoreaba que llevan desactivados los avisos del coche por no llevar cinturón... Esta foto le sacaron a los 2 días del accidente ...y a ver quién le regaña a god save the queen

En el accidente si lo llevaba y eso fué lo que le salvó, lo otro son rumores.... Jaguar Land Rover Disables Seatbelt Alarms on Queen, Prince Philip’s Cars 25 Jan 2019 The members of the British Royal Family are still facing a severe PR storm in light of Prince Philip’s car crash near Sandringham Estate, which he caused. This new report may only add more fuel to the fire. Prior to the accident and days afterwards, the Duke of Edinburgh was seen driving on public roads without his seatbelt on. The Queen herself was caught on the wrong footing when, one day after the crash, she was seen arriving at Sandringham in the passenger seat – and with no seatbelt on. According to various road safety charities and the British public / media, members of the Royal Family should lead by example. They should also be forced to respect the same laws as common mortals because, at the end of the day, driving or riding shotgun without a seatbelt is illegal, unless some medical condition specifically prevents it. The Sun claims to have an explanation for why the 2 Royal heads prefer to ride without a seatbelt: they do it because they can, because their people send instructions in this sense to Jaguar Land Rover, before delivery of a new car. In other words, their cars come with the seatbelt alarm disabled, so they can drive as they see fit without having the alarm annoyingly go off. At least, that’s what an unnamed insider claims. Whether that’s accurate we might never know, but one thing is crystal clear: more and more voices are asking for equal treatment for the Royals, as well as more accountability on their part. “Not wearing a seatbelt flies in the face of decades of evidence and puts your life at risk,” Joshua Harris, director at road safety charity Brake, says. “Seatbelt reminders are vital to get people to remember to buckle up and keep themselves safe and within the law - we would never recommend disabling these devices, unless related to a valid exemption.” “Simply put, seatbelts save lives, are required to be worn by law and you can face a hefty fine if you're caught not wearing one,” Harris adds. That a seatbelt saves lives the Duke already knows. When his Land Rover Freelander was T-boned by a speeding Kia at a junction near Sandringham, his car flipped twice on the road. When witnesses got to him, he was hanging by his seatbelt, so he probably has that to thank for for walking away unharmed.
