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.

Losing a loved one, as so many families have this past year, is always heartbreaking. My thoughts are with family & all who loved him.

I always liked the old guy. He was certainly feisty.

My fave Royal... not at all PC, King of the gaffs, always used to make me chuckle.

Lucky enough to meet him at The Royal Tournament and a few other events , always seemed to have a good sense of humour

Not to hijack thread but didn't Traminator leave a couple of weeks back?

Philip was, always, Politically Correct.
He was "correct" in every way.
He knew exactly what he was doing, all of the time.

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.

Is there a rationale behind the BBC playing the same programme on both its main channels? If they have enough coverage, information, stories and interviews to need simultaneous broadcast of two different streams of information, then that is fine. However, playing the same programming over two channels is just halving your output. I’m not sure what they are trying to achieve.

Standard broadcasting practice when a senior Royal passes.

This 'trashy mouth-piece' has no soul .....
Why can't all these Royalists just get on with their mourning?

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.

Shame they don’t have enough different content to fill both main channels. A simultaneous repeat seems hardly fitting given the ‘senior Royal’ status.

Calm down! Get over yourself. A polite version of what I would say to your face.
Your lack of respect to the Queen was my main objection.
