Queen Elizabeth II returns to public view after catching COVID to attend service honoring late husband Prince Philip

London — Queen Elizabeth II joined other members of Britain's royal family on Tuesday to give thanks for the life of her husband Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, nearly a year after he died at the age of 99. It was the queen's first public event since testing positive for COVID-19 last month.

The service at the historic Westminster Abbey in central London was billed as a larger celebration of Philip's life after coronavirus restrictions limited the size of his funeral last year.  

CBS News correspondent Roxana Saberi said about 1,800 guests were invited to the service, including British and international royalty and members of the charities the prince supported. But the event was as much about the service itself, as it was about who attended — and who didn't.
