It was clear that this thread was intended for members to show their respects following the passing of HRH Prince Philip and to loosely discuss the events around his death. While I am a firm believer in open and honest discussion, it feels as if this particular thread is not the right place for some of the subjects raised.
As a result, I have removed a number of comments from this discussion. I mentioned before that I understand there will be mixed opinions on this subject, but it should be accepted that this is a sensitive topic and we should be mindful of one another's beliefs and sensitivity around it.
If members wish to discuss Brexit, the riots in Northern Ireland or Covid-19 they are welcome to do so but will be expected to discuss these elsewhere on the community.

The funeral plans sound like it’s just what he would of wanted, a lower key event.

@MarkN88 yeah he wasn't a fan of all the pomp, just a quiet low key send off.

110,000 + complaints to the BBC for their "blanket" coverage last weekend, really? these people should get a life, ABC Justin Welby spoke well today, you really do have to feel for The Queen. x2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

I don't think we can definitively say that the coverage was blanket, but it certainly was wide ranging across the BBC. I was listening to a podcast hosted by a Radio 1 DJ and he explained that they had prepared for situations like that, where you get an announcement which will make national and international news and trigger a period of mourning, and the staff were well trained in what was to happen.woodbine said:110,000 + complaints to the BBC for their "blanket" coverage last weekend, really? these people should get a life, ABC Justin Welby spoke well today, you really do have to feel for The Queen. x
I think here, we should remain respectful of people's thoughts and feelings on the subject without making comments like "get a life", and our focus on this thread should remain on paying our respects to Prince Philip and marking his funeral today.Online Community CoordinatorConcerned about another member's safety or wellbeing?

Funerals are private affairs how can they express their feelings and cry when people are watching

@Ross_Scope from whst I was told about the funeral the Queen remained poised and didn't cry I didn't watch it I cant explain it properly as I don't want to offend when it's televised and so many people are watching it doesn't feel right sorry

It was incredibly sad, but it was very poignant and an important moment I think.Katharine McKnight

I watched the funeral on Saturday and I felt it was extremely sad but very poignant. Once again, our incredible Queen and her family, put duty above personal matters. The family were incredibly dignified in what must have been an incredibly difficult day. Prince Phillip would have been incredibly proud of them. Thank you.

An interesting article Mike, thanks for sharing. Of course, I'm sure everyone will acknowledge and appreciate that Prince Philip wasn't without fault during his lifetime,
Open and honest discussion is a welcomed thing as long as it is done respectfully from all sides, however as previously mentioned, this thread was intended for people to pay their respects following his passing. Even though he undoubtedly made some mistakes during his lifetime (the quotes in that article evidence that clearly), Prince Philip and the rest of the Royal Family mean a great deal to many people, which this thread has demonstrated.
Due to the length of time that it has been since any comments were made here relating to the subject of paying respects, I believe this thread has served it's purpose and I will therefore be closing it.Online Community CoordinatorConcerned about another member's safety or wellbeing?
