Prince Phillip passes away.

RIP. Terrible loss for his wife after 73 years of marriage, unimaginably tough for her to bear.

Have to say cancelling the whole TV schedule seems very odd for the spouse of the head of state.

Sad day.

My thoughts are with the Queen. Its going to be a very tough loss.

RIP

Who is the right person to take this over?

Bradley Wiggins?

Jarvis Cocker?

Lots of OT posts gone for recycling.
Can we stay on-topic please? There's plenty of other threads to talk about other things.

RIP, 73 years of service to country and the Commonwealth. Never upstaged the Queen in protocol and politics, never undermined the Govt of the day, but we knew he had a mind of his own which lets slip every now and then. A character.

How long before the tabloids blame Meghan? Might be a little awkward at the funeral.

Not technically a tabloid, but you weren't wrong.

Cancelling a load or repeats, and replacing them with a load of old footage and "tributes"? Cheap TV.

I am not a Royalist, but, a sad day when anyone dies, and, Prince Philip was one of the more likeable Royals IMHO.

Competely agree, and particularly an awful loss for his wife of 73 years, as I said.

Must be hard for Madge.

Max 30 at the funeral should make for an interesting guest list.

Suspect private close family funeral and then a Memorial Service at a later date. Presumably never planned to be State Funeral anyhow

Absolutely unbelievable.
