HRH Prince Philip - Passed Away
- Thread starter rickmcfc
- Start date
I think the thing is that very few of us on here have ever experienced either a reigning Monarch or their consort passing. I don't think what we are experiencing now is that much different to when George VI died.Always sad when anyone dies, but the blanket media coverage has been a bit weird to say the least.
It's a strange one for most of us.

Villagers on the remote island of Tanna in Vanuatu (South Pacific, New Hebredies) who deified Prince Philip are to respond to the Duke's death with ritual wailing, dancing and narcotic drinks from a coconut.

If you are worried about this, wait until the monarch who has reigned for almost 70 years passes away.
Ha, I’m not worried about this, just find it a bit mawkish and odd.If you are worried about this, wait until the monarch who has reigned for almost 70 years passes away.
Same here.I was looking forward to OGWT on 4 tonight.
I switched on BBC2 to watch House of Games but the same news was on all the bbc channels.
Yeah, I guess it’s unprecedented in that regard but society has changed a fair bit since the last time this happened. Could understand it more with Diana, in that it was premature and a genuine shock. Feels a bit different when it’s a 99 year old man though. Similar to when the Queen Mother died.I think the thing is that very few of us on here have ever experienced either a reigning Monarch or their consort passing.

Only Got Weird Television....
All night, but out of respect....
my condolences Mrs. Windsor.
Can understand it being postponed if they were going to put on a show as a tribute to Prince Philip but its just a black screen.Old Grey Whistle Test on BBC4 postponed.
Message on it is to switch to BBC1 for the latest on Prince Philips death
