One of a kind, and loved by all.

Paul.... :UK: ...!

I 100% agree with you Paul, just a shame he didn't make the 100th.

RIP

That is sad news Fozzer. A bleak day there for all the royal followers.

"A bleak day there for all the royal followers." Of which I am proudly one.

Watched the funeral today for HRH Duke of Edinborough ..... well done BBC Beautifully filmed, superb reporting, and lead up, and all credit to those who had only 6 or so days to put it all together.

This image says it all... I spent more than a moment reflecting on what it means.
We are so splendidly insulated in NZ from the terrible cold winds blowing in the world.

Elizabeth II is a class act, and her relationship with HRH the Duke of Edinburgh, a model of Royal forbearance.
She has balanced so carefully what should be a complete anachronism, with the changing demands of a fast-changing world.
Wills and Kate totally Get It, which must be some consolation to the Queen.

Well said Charl, that photo will go down in history.
Sadly I thought I had recorded the whole thing.... but it appears I didn't push the right buttons. I'm hoping that BBC coverage will be repeated somewhere.
