Yes they have they've gathered outside Buckingham palace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I knew Prince Phillip was a war hero but I’ve learnt much more about this man today. When I see all the tributes from all over the world, including one from Mr Putin, it makes you realise how popular the Monarchy is world wide. I wouldn't have thought a eulogy from the Salisbury Poisoner was any great achievement...he was popular amongst Tsarist Russians because he was part of their Royal family.  The Bolsheviks should have done a more thorough job.

I would like to mention the TV serial, The Crown for drama purpose, did have some made up stuff but there were alot of well documented facts there too, showing Phillips shady past. Well said very shady indeed....  Rewriting history their good at that !!.. Edited April 10, 2021 by Box11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I think only 30 are allowed to attend and the Royals have a large family or it could be his ridiculous hair, I certainly wouldnt want someone who looks like a joke attending such a serious solom occaision.

RollingJ Â Â 2,002 #70 Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) Yes, there still are restrictions, so that is probably the reason. The 'hair' comment is a 'bad-taste' joke, surely ? Edited April 11, 2021 by RollingJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Agree the BBC has four wireless stations , so why not just one for Phillip news , not every  one is interested in the Royals .  Edited April 11, 2021 by cuttsie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
