A Service of Thanksgiving was held at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, in Windsor, England, UK on February 27th to mark the life of King Constantine of Greece. Constantine lived in the UK during his exile, and is also a member of the extended British Royal Family. 

The service was attended by extended family as well as close friends. The British, Greek, Spain and Denmark royals are all relatives of King Constantine, which is partly why so many from those groups attended.
