Death of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh

 

As we learn of the sad news that His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh has passed 

away the thoughts of the residents of Sutton at Hone & Hawley Parish are with the 

Royal Family as they grieve for their Father, Grandfather and Great-Grandfather.

The Duke demonstrated extraordinary dedication and commitment to duty

throughout the Queen’s reign and did so with strength and admirable

determination. He supported Her Majesty throughout decades of change, from the 

dark post war years through to the new horizons of the 21st century, enabling her to 

provide essential continuity for the nation.

 

This is a period of public grief when people who do not know each other come

together to mourn a national figure who has been consistent throughout our lives and

for whom we have collective affection despite not knowing him personally.
