Bedford Roughyed Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 RIP The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip. 1 With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearman Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I met him a couple of times in the 80's. One of the occasions I was with Shaun Edwards ( ME! Namedropper? Never) I remember being impressed when told that he had attended about 7 Duke of Edinburgh Award ceremonies a year for 35 years and had never cried off once.

The Hallucinating Goose Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Wow, that has shocked me a bit, figured it was coming given his age and the recent hospital stay but even so. A true servant of the country. RIP Prince Philip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleep1673 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I was watching Quest, here in the UK, and the blanked the adverts and said there is an important news bulletin on BBC News, I have never seen a blatant channel diversion like this so I turned over. I am not a Royalist, in fact I have said before on here I am a Republican, but my thoughts got out to the Queen and her Family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking forward to masters highlights I doubt it is the family that have either instigated or `need this'. It is the country. It is respect. If he had been the husband of any head of state, world wide, his death would have been suitably recognised, as this is being suitably recognised right now, in countries all around the globe. If he had been the equally long-serving, well known and almost universally recognised (with respect) partner of the head of state of any country in the world, his passing would now be being marked in much the same way. Though not identical - and for different reasons - the closest illustration I can think of, for that, is the death of United States President, John Kennedy. Within minutes of the event the whole world knew, and responded with due respect. I was at a film showing, in the dining hall of my college `res' when that news came in. Everything stopped. And I was miles away on another continent, in the middle of central Africa.
