Old Skier
Tour Winner
Have represented the Regiment at the Fields of Remembrance a few times and he was good enough always to stop for a word or two. Always said it was nice to see a youngster amongst all the oldies.
This man knows...I refuse to look and hope (pray...) that those type of comments don't find their way onto this thread.
I've had the TV on in the background and lots I didn't know about him. His support to the Queen has been nothing short of amazing and totally selfless. She must be devastated.
Not to hijack thread but didn't Traminator leave a couple of weeks back?Prince Phillip passed today not making 100. Man was a legend if you ever had the privilege. Start bulling your boots @Traminator
Philip was, always, Politically Correct.My fave Royal... not at all PC...l
Didn’t know.Not to hijack thread but didn't Traminator leave a couple of weeks back?
I understand he’s an important National figure and it’s definitely something that should garner a bit of attention but don’t we think it’s a bit much clearing the tv schedule on both BBC 1 and BBC 2 to show exactly the same programming? Surely one channel would be enough? I mean he was pretty old after all. Tomorrow’s papers: MAN DIES OF OLD AGE.
Hell of an innings. Hopefully Liz is doing ok.
I understand your point about two channels but show a bit more respect for the deceased and our monarch.
Shame they don’t have enough different content to fill both main channels. A simultaneous repeat seems hardly fitting given the ‘senior Royal’ status.Standard broadcasting practice when a senior Royal passes.
Happened for Diana and the Queen Mum.
Calm down, I’m not being disrespectful at all. The bloke was 99 years old! Had a bloody good run after a life of service, and it’s right that it should be reported but it’s literally still flashing up as breaking news on kids TV channels?! Absolutely bonkers for a man who literally died of being very old and who everyone (whether they are royalists or not) knew wasn’t in good health.
