With sadness we heard today that HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh has passed away.
Our sympathy goes out to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and all the family.
He will leave a huge gap in their lives and the lives of so many around the world.
 
Such a shame that he didn’t make it to his 100th birthday. Very sad to hear the news today. I hope that the pandemic doesn’t deprive him of a state funeral.

Unfortunately he missed his 100th by 2 months (& 1 day).
I read somewhere that he didn't want a state funeral when he died?
I think the Queen is going to struggle without him by her side. I got the impression that he was her 'rock'.
Condolences to his family & friends x

Apparently he will lie in the Royal Vault until the Queen dies and they will be buried together.
 
I have to say I found his occasional faux pas highly entertaining and I suspect he had a wicked sense of humour. I also think he knew this was coming. When all the Harry and Meghan stuff (stepping down from official roles and such) was announced a few weeks earlier than the press thought it would be, and then he went into hospital shortly after, I got a real sense that he was tying up loose ends. And bless him, when he came out again he wasn't looking great - whatever procedure he had wasn't a 'cure'. Her Majesty will miss him. Rest in peace Prince Phillip.
 
So very sad. he Was such an incredible character but what I most admire is the marriage and love they had. I can only imagine how the Queen is feeling right now. My thoughts are with her, it makes you appreciate what you have and encourages you to make the most of every day we have with our loved ones, human or animal.
 
I have the greatest respect for HM Queen Elizabeth and the late Prince Philip.
They have both been ever present throughout my life and his passing leaves a strange feeling of loss, even though I never met him.
 
A sad loss :( I’ll bet Phil and my nan are having a good catch up now they are both up there. Nan worked for the beeb and they met a few times. He wasn’t afraid to tell his staff to p*ss off whilst he and nan was having a good natter 😂 (he was well known to ignore schedules and was always late, he loved to chat)
 
To live well and to die well is all any of us can hope for. Funny, witty, intelligent and always a glint in his eye to let us know he didn't take himself too seriously.
Farewell to a King in all but name..

Rest in peace to a lovely man, thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time 💖
 
I admired his strong sense of duty, support to the Queen, wicked sense of humour and his "get stuff done" attitude.
