Prince Philip RIP

[Woodface]

RIP, one of the entertainers.

It may keep Covid out of the news for a few days which is a parting gift to the nation.

The Islanders of Tanna, who worshipped Prince Philip as a god, were planning to switch to Prince Charles because of Philip's poor recent health. RIP

Can we keep it respectful please? I’ve deleted a couple of posts and one that referenced the offending posts. I’m no fan but it’s not a day for nastiness.

RIP. I only saw him the once. It was at Holyrood when our son was being presented with his DoE Gold award. Philip put in a lot of time and effort going around all the young adults. Of course he was cracking a lot of jokes!

Irrespective of perpespective he was a fixture during all of our lives (assuming no centenarians on the forum) and with his passing something tangible has gone.

RIP. Whether one is for or against the royals, racism and so on, this is somebody’s son we’re talking about.

RIP, Phil the Greek, never afraid to speak his mind.

And then some. A friend of mine witnessed him tear a very senior RAF officer a new one for scrapping Nimrod. In front of the Nimrod crews at the 'retirement' ceremony.

An incredible, irreplaceable man who lived a most distinguished life of service. A real shame he didn’t hit his century.

RIP HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh

Shouldn’t that have been the defence minister and not some poor oik in the chain of command?

RIP HRH PP - it just got more colourful up there.

A funny bugger by all accounts so RIP, a good innings.

An Air Marshal is not some "poor oik" and would have played a role in the decision to scrap.

He is a poor oik compared to the Tory twats that decided to unfund any further development.

I think even from an Irish perspective one has to acknowledge the sadness of his passing and marvel at his “loyalty” during his meeting with Martin McGuinness.

RIP Duke of Edinburgh. Shame the full century wasn't hit, but a long innings nonetheless.
