Prince Philip dies at the age of 99

I think this photo says it all about their special relationship and I liked Tony Blair's tribute.

Former prime minister Tony Blair said: “Our whole nation will be united in sadness at the passing of Prince Philip. 

“He will naturally be most recognised as a remarkable and steadfast support to the Queen over so many years. However, he should also be remembered and celebrated in his own right as a man of foresight, determination and courage. 

“He was often way ahead of his time in protection of the environment, in reconciliation between religious faiths and of course in the creation of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award which remains one of the most innovative and effective programmes for the betterment of young people anywhere in the world.”
