Reactions to duke’s death disgraceful

Sir, – I am shocked, saddened and very angry at responses to Prince Philip’s death by some fellow Scots.

The disgraceful bile, hostility and absolute rudeness is astonishing but not unexpected by a section of our countrymen and women.

I am ashamed to call them fellow Scots and hope they come to recognise the error of their ways but I doubt it.

Irrespective of political or constitutional views, this was a husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather held in huge esteem for his vast service to the United Kingdom and devotion to the Queen. Such responses demean Scotland hugely.
