The Duke of Edinburgh died at Windsor Castle on 9 April at the age of 99 years.
Lord Burnett said: ‘His Royal Highness dedicated more than seven decades to public service in the UK and the Commonwealth, both through his service in the Royal Navy and his unwavering support to Her Majesty during her long reign.’
Law Society president I Stephanie Boyce, Bar Council chair Derek Sweeting QC and CILEx president Craig Tickner expressed their condolences to the Queen and Royal Family, on behalf of their members.
Supreme Court and Privy Council hearings will go ahead as planned during the period of national mourning, but Justices will wear mourning dress. The swearing-in of Lady Justice Rose as Justice, scheduled for this week, has been postponed until 19 April. The Supreme Court flag will fly at half-mast until 18 April, the day after the funeral.
