Not a Royalist as such, but I'm sure that a great many young people benefited from his Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme. Indeed, I know for a fact that they did. OK, he was a bit old fashioned and had some forthright views, but I guess, in the long run, he did more good than harm.
Just waiting for the tactless outpouring of both glee and hate from the usual suspects.
He led an extraordinary life. Saw and experienced more countries and cultures than I could probably name.
The media always seemed to pounce on any faux pas he made but they never gave him the acclaim he deserved for the thousands of appearances and speeches he made.

I'm sure Arthur, Tel and Dave - and even Charlie and Taff - would want to send their condolences to the Queen. The impression is that they were all loyal supporters of the Royal family.
After all, Arthur's modus operandi was to seek a nice little earner for himself in the spirit of assisting 'er in number 10 and 'er in Buckingham Palace.
Not sure the Duke of Edinburgh would have approved of some of his dodgy deals, though!

A lifetime of service to the nation , not least through some heroic naval actions during WW2. A steadfast and loyal companion to Her Majesty the Queen equally through their long marriage or as her consort on official duties.
