HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, was a man who experienced great difficulties and even serious danger during his long life and yet he never wavered. Not for him trips to counsellors, psychologists, therapists and the like; no, he took what life threw at him shrugged his shoulders and got on with things.
An old fashioned attitude, full of the 'stiff upper lip' mentality of his generation, and one that is so absent amongst today's frail and cosseted little darlings. At the same time, he was a moderniser and a man who believed passionately in moving forward at all times through innovation and invention.
The Duke also truly understood duty and service, fulfilling his role as the Queen's consort for almost 70 years, gaining a reputation for being 'his own man' while also supporting his wife unreservedly.
His contributions to his family, his country and the world are immeasurable. He will be missed.
