A wry sense of humour behind lifetime of service

THERE are many facets to Prince Philip and his many achievements.

The so-called “gaffes” were never meant in a nasty or hurtful way and overshadowed his steadfast support for our dear Queen.

I am sure that if he ever watched comedy show Mock The Week when Hugh Dennis talked over what he supposedly said, he would have found it hilarious in the same way the Pope would have done at Dave Allen’s routines.

Rest in peace, sir.You have more than done your bit and we are very grateful and proud to have had you as our Queen’s Consort.
