Prince Philip RIP

A SAD DAY, Prince Phillip passes on at 99 <rose><rose> condolences to Her Maj the Queen & Family
 
I’m a royalist so I suspect some will mock his passing.
But from me RIP Prince Philip

I am a republican by nature but he is a husband, father, grandfather and fellow human being, who actually had quite a tragic start to life who happened to marry our queen, it says more about people who mock passing than about him.

I actually met him once, he came into a room full of various uk security agencies, he was bumming a cigarette, incredibly funny.

RIP Prince Philip.
 
I know Lady Di’s and the queen mum had their funerals on a Saturday. But if his funeral on a weekday, do we have a day off for mourning?
Question for the older ones really as I’ve only lived through those two and princess Margaret but can not remember hers.
