HRH Prince Philip - Passed Away

[oakiecokie]

He was a lad wasn`t he.
I loved the guy even though he put his foot in lots of time you just had to laugh as he just hadn`t got a clue about etiquette and probably a big believer that racisim doesn`t exist in his world. ;)
RIP Phil the Greek (even though he really wasn`t)

rest in peace. good innings 99

the jam, just who is the 5 O'clock Hero

that prince phillip said we got to work hard

If you’re going to assign a The Jam song I think “Going Underground” would be more appropriate

A man whose devotion to duty is to be admired and respected. He and the Queen were a decent symbol of what the UK strives to be.

Her Maj must think I've got the blood of the Plantagenets and the tudors in my veins and look what's to come: man of straw and posh Jeremy Kyle candidate!

We will indelibly lose something when the Queen goes.

My Dad would have been a 100 this year but made it to 94. As we lose the last of that generation their unique memories and experiences of their lives moves into history. Its a remarkable age to achieve.
He lived a full and eventful life R I P .

He lead a full and interesting life and gave decades of service to the United Kingdom and Commonwealth. He had his own unique style and contributed a great deal though his support of the Queen an his individual initiatives. RIP.

It's hard to feel sorry for someone who's got to a solid 99 years of age, led a very cosseted, privileged and well heeled life, has seen and experienced most of the world, usually in great comfort and opulence. I feel for the Queen, who has lost her husband and companion of 73 years, and the family, who have lost a loved father, grandfather and great grandfather. RIP Phil the Greek, you can have no complaints, and my condolences to the Queen and her family.

Very sorry for the queen, when one goes that age the other is not too far behind . He was her consort and head of the family at home

As someone without much of a filter as well he used to make me laugh with his gaffs

RIP Philip

There wasn't much comfort and opulence on the bridge of a destroyer during a WW2 naval engagement mate.
