Prince Philip RIP

[JP1]

Apparently the HoC has justifiably allocated 7 and a half hours for members to share their memories of him -
That’s longer than it took to ratify the last minute deal on Brexit

They were "recalled" a day early to do it bless them

They were "recalled" a day early to do it bless them

They deliberated for ten minutes, and decided as Philip would have “get on with it man,”!
Damn well right too....

I would love to hear a recording of his 'gaffs ' but I suppose some of them are ,in these days, 'politically incorrect' !

there are some on youtube but to be honest, they are not gaffs just misunderstood humor, a great chap he once commented about something being done by the Indians what he was referring to was it wasn't a cowboy job i like the one when entering Australia the customs chap asked him if he had a criminal record he replied is it still necessary

Exactly, not gaffs at all just a sense of humour ! It’s all about context .

If that's true and spontaneous he beats all other comedians who ever existed. Priceless

Amazed and a bit disappointed that BBC received 109k complaints about the coverage of his passing. It was only around 20/24 hours worth for someone who gave a life time of service to his wife. Thank goodness he had a sense of humour! Good man in my opinion for saying things as he saw them.

Some twunts are just looking for something to complain about. 109,000 of them apparently

Absolutely disgusting, those ungrateful f*tards. Thank goodness we never hear a complaint against our national Broadcaster on this forum!

Buckingham Palace has revealed Prince Philip’s bespoke electric Land Rover hearse ahead of his funeral. Years ahead of Tesla founder Elon Musk, Prince Philip began designing the EV (electric vehicle) with Land Rover in 2003, making the final adjustments in 2019.

The vehicle, based on a 130 TD5 Land Rover Defender, will be used to transport the coffin of the Duke of Edinburgh from the state entrance of Windsor Castle to St George’s Chapel.

It is a project that spanned 16 years, with Prince Philip making changes including requesting a repaint in military green.

He also came up with the open top rear and special ‘stops’ to secure his coffin in place.

Although it is not the Sandringham gun bus that some hoped, designed by the Prince and built by Land Rover gun bus specialist Foley in Essex, it reflects Prince Philip’s love of the Land Rover marque, which he has driven since the vehicles first became available after the Second World War.

Today in 1953 the Royal Yacht Britannia was launched .

Would it not be great if it was announced in this particularly tough week for Her Majesty The Queen if plans to build another and named The Duke Of Edinburgh were announced?

Don't mention the millions of press and Security though.

That last one I was told referred to the Queen, not Ann. No matter though, probably relevant to both.

If its a Landrover then they better have a backup plan prepared.

The Canadian gov’t has ordered and named 6 ships for the Navy and two for the Coast Guard, one of which has not yet been named. There’s a group petitioning that it be called ‘ The Duke of Edinburgh’.

I think you'll find he developed it as a shooting vehicle and JLR have actually made the rear conversion for the funeral.
