Always a sad time when we loose a bastion and Philip really was.
Such a shame the mould was broken when they made him.
I wonder if our queen will stand down now ?
RIP sir

I liked him for not being one of the PC brigade.He had his moments which showed he was not a royal robot.RIP.

“Deaf? If you are near there, no wonder you are deaf.” (to young deaf people in Cardiff, in 1999, referring to a school’s steel band).

Yes, a sad day. I always liked how he spoke his mind and ignored the PC agenda!

But he had a good innings and a full life. RIP.

I suspect that she will announce her abdication during her Christmas broadcast - Just a hunch!

Just thinking the same thing. Give the man the private funeral he wanted, leave a little time after then, hand over the Charles.
The Queen can then celebrate her reign with some satisfaction of a job well done.

Just hope Harry & Meghan's response is short and dignified.

Although am "over the pond" as it is said. My condolences to your Queen and the British people. Rest in peace.

Well, not surprising really, but after the 41 gun salute in Pompey today, President Macron has phoned Boris to offer France's unconditional surrender............... just in case

RIP Phil.
He played a selfless supporting role to Liz for all those years yet still made a difference in his own right.
Apparently the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme was all his idea.
