So sad for HM

ChessieFL · 09/04/2021 12:07

Such a shame he didn’t reach his 100th birthday in June. Very sad.

Stirmecrazy · 09/04/2021 12:08

I know given his recent health problems and age it was to,be expected but very sad to hear the news

AbsolutelyPatsy · 09/04/2021 12:08

He had a good innings for a bloke.

Poor Queenie, they've been together such a long time.

How sad. They were clearly in love and they've had such a tough year.

😞 very sad news

Magnificentmug12 · 09/04/2021 12:11

99 is a good age for a man, he did well. I imagine he didn’t die in pain and is well loved. Such sad news, wonder if Harry will come back to visit now?

Comefromaway · 09/04/2021 12:11

Sad news but I think it was expected given his age and ill health.

emilyfrost · 09/04/2021 12:11

RIP Philip... shame he didn't get his telegram from HM.

Very sad news

SallySycamore · 09/04/2021 12:12

How sad. I was hoping he'd reach 100 too.

I'm glad he and the Queen have spent plenty of time together recently.

kittensarecute · 09/04/2021 12:12

Awww no 😢

InglouriousBasterd · 09/04/2021 12:12

Oh at 99 as well. When the radio stopped for an announcement I had a feeling it was this.

AvaAvocado · 09/04/2021 12:13

He had a bloody good innings, bless him.

mateysmum · 09/04/2021 12:13

So sad for the Queen. A remarkable man.
