Anything that I say will come out trite and banal, I hope others better suited can do the necessary.
Having said that.
But he married a Princess and future Queen and remained himself, and he did himself and us proud. He will be much missed.

Rest Sir, you deserve it.

Sheesh.
The chap is held in very high regard here in Oz. Founded over 700 charities. Married for 74 years. Funny bastard, always good for a joke.

I'm saluting you one drink at a time.
49 down, 50 to go.

I bet Megan didn't take into account that curve ball when she started gobbing off to Ophra. Turns out it looks like it might of worked in her favor, as it looks like Harry will be returning to the U.K. alone for the funeral. Shame really, can you imagine being a fly on the wall when she crossed paths with the rest of the family and the arch bishop of Canterbury.
Even more of a shame that she didn't take note when marrying into the Royal family what it really takes. Philip the duke of Edinburgh 73 years a husband, consort, gave up a promising career in the navy and countless humanitarian charitable work.

On a side note the T.V. in the U.K. on Friday night was blanketed across the channels with tribute programs to the Duke.They were obviously pre-recorded and i noticed that in snippet parts of interviews with Princess Anne and Prince Andrew that they were both wearing black. just got me thinking on whether after Philip was released from hospital that it would only be a matter of small time before he passed away.    
 

I wonder if covid knocked him around and he didn't fully recover.

Not news that there are pre-recorded obituary items for everyone of note.
And his passing while perhaps not predicted was not totally unexpected.
