It's very sad that PP has died but not everyone wants to learn all about him. I'm in bed ill and was looking forward to Coronation Street.. Obviously soaps arent your thing but for some it's very "unfortunate " that they are cancelled.
Not unexpected but still very sad. I don’t think he wanted a state funeral, he said he wanted no fuss. It says on line that Harry has been self isolating, presumably he was told how sick his grandfather was, yet he was pictured on the beach on Good Friday.
One or two days of learning much more about a man who dedicated his life to service won’t hurt. Emmerdale or Eastenders will unfortunately still be on next week. Enjoy your Netflix evening while the rest of us enjoy reminiscing and learning more than we probably knew about his hard work.
I’m another who found myself feeling very sad at this news. What a life story, I’d known some of it but found the detailed Bbc coverage fascinating. I enjoyed his strong personality. 70 years of marriage and public service is to be valued. I wish he could have a state funeral but maybe it’s no bad thing COVID will prevent that.
Very sad. He was born in the same year as my dad who made it to 96. He has always been a part of our lives with a great sense of humour. So sorry for our dear Queen as she is about to reach 95 and 70 years on the throne without his support . Rest in peace and thank you .
I loved his sense of humor. In 1967 the Duke gave a very candid response when he was asked if he would ever visit the Soviet Union. He said: “I would like to go to Russia very much, although the b******s murdered half my family."
Making a slightly dubious joke about the terrible recession at the beginning of the Eighties, the Duke quipped: “Everybody was saying we must have more leisure. Now they are complaining they are unemployed." Prince Philip was known for not holding back with celebrities as he called Tom Jones’ songs “hideous” in 1969.
Anniebach The queen will most likely be interred in St Georges chapel Winsdor as were 'several ' past monarchs. Abdicated king ie Duke of Windsor, as was his duchess ie Mrs Simpson, interred at Frogmore.
