    He contributed more to Public Life than most and he did no harm.
    He had a good War Record and persolaly I found his gaffes to be priceless.
    After serving in the RN for so long it's no great wonder that he tended to call a spade an effing shovel.
    No great harm there either.

    But his big individual contribution is probably his award scheme aimed at youngsters.

    Someone who pulled much more than his weight and who earned the respect that he was given by most.

    Rest in Peace Sir

    Apparently he’s spoke to his grandmother and there is no rift at all just paper talk.

    Rather suspect HRH would disagree.

    One of his best qualities was firing off jokes under pressure ...

    RIP. I hope he is remembered well for his service and commitment.

    The picture of he and the queen on media streams tugs at the heart strings a bit.

    Thank God for the Masters.

    The thing I remember most about him was when he was forced to go to Hirohitos funeral and it was very obvious that he hated it and managed to turn a bow into a headbut.

    I’m obviously in the minority on here but I thought Meghan was treated like ****e by our press and I admired Harry for having the guts to get her out of here.

    RIP to Phil the Greek. He had an acute sense of humour, stood by our Queens side, and only ever ventured forth when required. A pretty good Consort.

    I also found out today from another SAFC fan that Sunderland are the ONLY club to have won a major domestic trophy in the reign of every single monarch since the birth of domestic football in the UK
    That was a post by Brian Shotton of SAFC in our blood - great trivia question
