It was sadly reported by Buckingham Palace that Prince Phillip Duke of Edinburgh passed away peacefully on 9th of April 2021, aged 99.

Prince Phillip had served and supported this country over many decades with the utmost dedication and distinction. He was a much-loved member of our monarchy and will be sorely missed.

We would like to extend our sincere sympathy to his wife, Queen Elizabeth II, and all members of the Royal family at this upsetting time.
