cambridgeshire canary 6,735 Posted April 9, 2021 Shame we will never know if Lizzie would have sent him a card had he lived to 100. Seriously though, think we all knew this was coming. Not looked good recently, I mean he's not looked good for about a decade but that last couple of photos of him he looked awful. Overall this has been one really **** year for the royal family hasnt it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KiwiScot 1,450 Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) Sad news. I was listening to radio 6 whose service was interupted with the news then the national anthem was played. Very off the wall for Radio 6. Edited April 9, 2021 by KiwiScot 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like that nut analogy, as opposed to allergy, although actually I think I am allergic to the little ginger nut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I must admit I find most of Royal correspondents the most obsequious and fawning people possible. Get somebody more 'with-it' or less on bended knee. I'm sure DofE who had a life well lived would want that as well if only 1/2 the stories are true. He was after all quite a character and whatever your thoughts about the monarchy served the country very well nearly all his very long life.
