I met him once a few years ago. He lived up to his public persona - gruff and grumpy with a smile and a twinkle in his eye that dared you to say something interesting to relieve the tedium. I liked him. My Dad met him not long after the coronation when he did his National Service and said he complained about the corgis and told a lot of off-colour jokes, like a typical navy man.

I feel very sorry for the Queen now, as she doesn't have anyone that can treat her like an equal human being like her parents, sister and husband could. After so many years of seemingly happy marriage she must be bereft.

I also met Prince Philip in 1977 during the Queens Jubilee tour of the U.K when they visited the housing estate I live in up here..I was a 16 year old lad at the time,he asked myself and 2 of my mates about work prospects,wished us well and shook our hands...Sad day for many and I feel much sorrow for the Queen.

RIP Prince Philip, condolences to the Queen. I felt bad for him the other year when that skanky chancer had a car crash with him and they milked it for all it was worth.
 
RIP Prince Philip

He seemed a genuinely interesting person who I'd have been honoured to sit down and share a few stories with over a drink.
