Duke’s award scheme has launched millions of lives

WHAT A true gentleman and ambassador for the Royal Family Prince Philip was – and how he will be missed by everyone.

Yes he may have ruffled a few feathers over the years with his incredibly dry sense of humour but his loyal service to this great country of ours and as consort to Her Majesty The Queen for many decades is to be admired.

And let’s not forget the wonderful Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, which has supported millions of young people in this country and around the world to gain essential skills, experience, confidence and resilience to successfully navigate their way through adult life.
