RIP Sir, after the 'Boss' you were the best, barking mad & a joy to behold.

Here’s a thought..

I wonder if Meghan will come over for the funeral and if so, what sort of reception will she get.

Whatever she does she will be wrong.

Hate that bitch

RIP Philip

Been watching The Crown with the missus while working out in the mornings, so I feel like I know him better than I did, albeit only through a dramatization.

Think what you like about Phillip, but he was a real character but with the human failings that all of us have.

We wondered if he had died some time back, and they were keeping it under wraps but in any case, the beginning of the end of an era.

RIP

Here's a great story of one of his actions during the war (when he was fighting actual Nazis) - I found it really interesting.

I hope the family will rally around the Queen.

Oh, except Harry of course.

Met a guy who ran the Duke of Edinburgh awards i think he's retired now.

He had a lot of time for Phillip met him many times said he was a good bloke unlike Andrew.

As for his so called gaffs most weren't. Phillip realised that people were often tongue tied and embarrassed so he broke the ice with a joke and it worked. The only people who got upset about it were the media.

Anyway my contact said at the time that Edward will become the new Duke of Edinburgh, we shall see.

RIP Phillip you did your duty, respect.
