Oh I thought of all you lovely British 365er’s when I saw this notice this morning on my phone. He was a fine, fine man and so well thought of.

What a life he led. I cannot imagine the pain of being the one left after 72 years of marriage.

A very sad time for the Queen and all the Royal family. I always thought he would get to be a Hundred.

So sorry for your country’s loss.

[Pat Knowles]

A man who gave so much to this country. The queens stalwart supporter, someone she could always rely on!
He would be glad there won’t be a big funeral I expect & the Queen can grieve in relative privacy!

I am still in shock
My deepest condolences

He will be missed after all these years as the queen's consort. When he and the queen got married they spent the first years of their marriage in a house in Malta.
