Just announced he died peacefully this morning age 99.

Prince Philip (10 June 1921 - April 2021)

I know some members have no time for the royal family but this is not the thread to voice it

 

[The Baron]

RIP

Very sad day for the country. A great shame that you even needed to add the second line.

 

[London]

Phillp

A great shame that you even needed to add the second line.

I agree but I thought it best knowing how some members feel and I don't imagine the queen's loss would stop them posting.

I do wonder if he thought another year of celebrations to mark his 100th were going to be too much faff.

Joking aside from what I heard earlier I think he has had some serious health issues for some time.

The Queen referred to him as her 'strength and stay'

On the contrary, Chippy, they are fellow human beings and, at times like these, it's human dignity and compassion that is more important than what they stand for.

Isn't it sad that you learn more about somebody from their obituary than you ever knew. I've been to funerals and been really surprised by what I've learnt. So well done Sir, and enjoy a good rest on your cloud.

Sad day. Great life.

RIP sir. A life dedicated to his duty and above all his wife
