A very sad day. So near to his 100 birthday. Always a support to our Queen. The end of an era.

A very long life well lived and it's a sad day. The DofE Award has been a wonderful scheme for youngsters to achieve at all levels.

Such a great loss to the Queen and family and the U.K.  He was an example to the younger generation of unstinting service.  My Dad served with him, briefly, in the Royal Navy and always said he was a great chap.

I have been so sad ever since I heard the news.  He was a great inspiration to us all and I just can't believe that he's no longer there.  He's been there all of my life and it's strange, but the loss seems personal. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Her Majesty and all of the Royal Family.  R.I.P.

My Dad had a friend who worked for the Prince and lived in the grounds of the castle. Often when Dad stayed there Prince Phillip would tap on the kitchen door and come in for coffee. He and my Dad, who has now also passed away, would chat about fly fishing and other sports.Dad said he was very down to earth, interesting, and a gentleman. A truely sad day.

I feel very sad for the Queen. Must be very hard for her and family, as for any family who lose a much loved relative. He was a superb equestrian sportsman, very interesting person.
