[News] HRH Prince Philip has died

[Algernon]

Was just thinking the same.
You can hear why these four have been given the gig.
Moving, and faultless.

Correct and nobody covers these things better than the BBC.

I'm watching on ITV through fear of hearing Nicholas Witchell's all knowing, patronising, smugness at any point in the day.

Usually would for me too, but feels strangely flat this time. The vast empty space in that magnificent building when it should be full, everybody wearing masks. I know everybody else's funeral in the past 15 months has been ruined; in the same way this has to an extent too. Good as the music is, it still reflects the emptiness of the building.

Anyway, I liked the Land Rover touch. RIP.

I’ve got the Beeb on, no sight or sound of NW in the last hour plus.

I don't think he has been on at all so far.

He'll crawl out of the woodwork at some point, probably for the evening news.

A very sad day for the 94 year old. What a life together.

What's wrong with it?

 

[KZNSeagull]

I have to say that was superbly done.

Shows love and fun of a loving couple.

You my friend are a attention seeking waste of time

If it was intended in the way of showing a fun loving couple, fair enough. It looked to me (and it would appear to some others) like a picture of The Queen laughing her head off at the death of the duke - which would have made you the attention seeker, not me.

 

[Icy Gull]

I have dipped in and out bit what I have seen was very moving. I feel so sorry for the Queen.

saddened that was your interpretation of the photo, it was one of my favourite pictures of them. Nice to see the side not normally seen.

Tasteless and unnecessary.

On the contrary it shows their love and sense of fun.
It’s one of the Queen’s favourite photos. It was taken when a swarm of bees interrupted a ceremony at Windsor.

Glad that it wasn't posted in a nasty and derogatory way after all.

Well as long as you're happy

Exactly. And I am.

I remain old enough to love the Royal family and our British heritage, truly saddened for The Queen right now.
