What a sad day. If anyone needs a definition of the word duty then they simply need to refer to HM Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh.

Sad day for the country and for many countries of the Commonwealth for whom the Queen is head of state.

An even sadder day for the Queen and her family.

True. They both set a great example in many ways, from WW2 to the present. Condolences and RIP.

Yes there have been stumbles and scandals along the way, but that simply makes them human.

Rest In Peace Prince Philip.

I guess you don't understand much about the RIP thread unwritten rules. You just broke most of them. That will make you a very unpopular fellow on these forums. (at least to me anyway) I don't like little minded fools who make statements such as yours.

I wouldn't waste and time on this Grognerd. Someone of that mindset isn't going to understand such subtleties. I've reported to Erik.

And yet, the post is still there and it appears that he hasn't even gotten a slap on the wrist.

I wasn't going to say anything, but clearly Matrix see nothing wrong in the hateful garbage spouted so....

Prince Philip put his life on the line in fighting the Nazis. To then be called a Nazi sympathiser is simply trolling.

As for never doing a day's graft, Prince Philip was working hard - every day - into his late 90's before actual ill-health (not just an age number) intervened.

To call someone who devoted so much time and energy to charity, to schemes to help the young, in the fight against fascism, and who worked so tirelessly for his country, a parasite. Well that says far more about the poster than it does about Prince Philip.

The Queen is the UK's (and many other countries) Head of State. Prince Philip was her husband and consort for over 70 years. I wonder what would happen if I made such unfounded, unwarranted and hateful comments about the wife of a current head of state - the US for example?

As said by others, this thread is about celebrating the life of Prince Philip, it is about respect, and to honour a life of service, devotion and duty. That it was allowed to be hijacked in that way is a pretty sad state of affairs.
