Had the privilege of being his groom for a day back in 2000. He said “while the wife’s doing her recording I’ll have a quick hack through the park”. Got us all beer and port to say thanks. Absolute legend of a gentleman.

To a Scottish driving instructor

His wishes were to have a royal ceremonial funeral rather than a state one so who knows what that means? Very sad day.

Why do we need 5 threads for the same topic. It's the same for most national news threads really.

Can’t quite imagine the Queen without him following behind her. 95 and still working but having to adjust to the loss of her husband and constant support whilst doing that job.

"60 people died today of Covid within 28 days of contracting the virus.

But I guess that's not news anymore...

That's all we've heard of for over 12 months. Like someone said and the mod said this is a R.I.P thread dont be that guy.

Sorry are the deaths from Covid getting boring for you.

I can go a day without hearing them yes.

I'm sure the families of he 127,000 + victims are sorry thier grief is boring you. "

Can I ask why we can't grieve for them all. You're stating covid deaths but what about all the deaths from cancer for example? Just because we are showing respect for someone does not mean we do not also mourn very deeply and personally for many others also. If you can only focus on one group of people at a time then that says more about you than anyone else.

"does nobody else think there’s more to it....

Personally i think he actually died a few weeks ago during his hospital stay when all the family visited.. due to restrictions funeral arrangements wouldn’t ever of been what they wanted..

restrictions due to lift therefore being able to have the kind of funeral they’d like with thousands gathered along the side of the road as they pass through...

They now announce his death?

Wonder how many of those thousands will adhere to social distancing

Really?

So who exactly was seen leaving the hospital and returning to Windsor - a body double?

One difference is that he will not 'lie in state' like the Queen Mother did.

I didn’t mean quite that as such.. but a funeral wouldn’t be as they would want with heavier restrictions would it?

I agree with you. There is more to it. I think he died in a tea cup accident whilst on a fishing expedition in the pyrenes. They got a body double to do the stay in hospital while they brought his dead body back to London via a series of underground tunnels.

Having the funeral now means that people will stop asking Boris things.

Good move.

"I'm not sure what it is exactly but I think from what iv read its like a military funeral. "

There aren't huge differences between state and ceremonial funerals - the former are usually reserved for the monarch or, at their request or that of parliament, for a national figure, eg., Winston Churchill received a state fumeral...

...ceremonial funerals do not require parliamentary debate or approval, and are usually for royalty, eg., HM The Queen Mother, or prominent statesmen/women, eg., Margaret Thatcher...

....the easiest way to visually tell the difference is that in a state funeral, the gun carriage bearing the coffin is pulled by sailors, whereas for a ceremonial, it is drawn by horse...

I would agree he definitely deserves it but he himself stated he didn't want one years ago. He apparently said that he wasn't important enough! I wonder if people realised how much he has actually done in his life to help others they be less cutting

RIP Prince Philip.Although I am not a fan of the royals respect where it’s due he stood by the Queen for over 70 years and did above and beyond what was asked of him.Apparently he was strict with his sons when they were growing up and according to some may have ordered a hit on Princess Diana but there have been so many conspiracy about Princess Diana that maybe for another thread.Either way the Queen and lost her husband of over 70 years and my thoughts go out to her.

Today we bemoan the death of a human being who was brought up in wealth but ended up homeless, discovered his love for sea and gave it up to pursue marriage. He was a devoted husband of 70+ years, and yes - he could be rude, he could be impatient... just like the rest of us. I wouldn’t call myself a Royalist, but I definitely admired his hard work and commitment. Very good article on his life on the BBC news website entitled “Prince Philip: An extraordinary man who led an extraordinary life”. RIP.

I understand what you are saying but there were covid deaths yesterday, and there will be covid deaths tomorrow which we mourn for, but a prince didn't die yesterday, and one probably won't tomorrow either, so lets just let this thread run it's course for the one person it was aimed at and use the covid threads for all the other deaths from covid
