RIP Prince Phillip

Rip. Sad as the monarchy is part of being British and a bit part of the history.

Great servant and a real character.
 
Just to be clear straighters, I ain’t hiding, loads of people on here know who I am, oh and I’ve spoke to you loads of times😉
Yes we've spoken. But as you well know, it was purely accidental and based on me typing 'shaven Poulton girl' into my 'Doggersnearu' search. Your shiny pate was the last thing I expected to see poking through my car window.
 
I bet the spoilt ginger whinger feels bad right now following the lies he and his attention seeking wife have told.
The saying goes theres always someone worse off than you and all the lad had to do was glance his grandfathers way.

Yeh the old boy came out with some bloopers but his life was peppered with sadness and he somehow overcame all of that.
 
The words from the Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here” seem as relevant to Prince Philip as to Syd...
“Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage”

He was adamant that he wanted no fuss or celebration for his 100th birthday. It’s a shame he did not make it, but he got his wish. RIP.
 
My missus met him once at a Buckingham Palace Garden Party. He asked his usual question “And what do you do?”. So she replied that her company “carried out risk assessments” for HM Government for national infrastructure projects, public policy and “events such as these” (she had done the Golden Jubilee).

To which Prince Philip replied “What a strange way to earn a living... but I suppose someone has to do it” and walked off. One of her proudest and enjoyable career moments - being mildly insulted by the Duke of Edinburgh.

When you spent WW2 on a warship being bombed by the Germans, I suspect that modern day risks have a different feel.

A remarkable life. RIP
 
Typical, my Mum (just shy of 91) just slipped away this afternoon and now she will be stuck in the queue behind him at the Pearly Gates!

They have both lived a life, albeit very different ones, but they have both seen such much change in the World, some of it even for the better!

RIP Mum and HRH

Sorry to hear that, Bottle, Tangerines hugs to ya. RIP your Mum and The D of E
 
For all you Royalists who voted Brexit to stop the immigrants just remember;
His real name, given at birth is.
Philipos Andreou of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderberg-Glücksburg.
Prince of Greece and Denmark.
And he was born in Corfu.
‘Bloody immigrants coming over here and marrying are immigrant Queen (Liz’s real name is Gotha Saxe-Coburg)’.

RIP Phillip

Shame on a thread like this when someone sadly dies (and not just anyone) someone have to mention both Immigrants and Brexit.

As if we don’t have enough threads/arguments already on here over those two topics. 🙄

Oh come on... I took that to be very much tongue-in-cheek.
The sort of joke Prince Philip might have made himself. He always regarded himself as rootless and somewhat peripatetic. He had a long life which was well lived.
(Edited to help PG grasp it)

The difference between you and I Jaffa is - I celebrate diversity.. people like you fear it!

Congratulations you have really excelled yourself there ☹️
 
Its quite surprising given that any other Greek immigrant who has lived on taxpayers money all his life would be ripped to pieces by the media and the Tories on here.
