The Duke of Edinburgh reward scheme was very good for the young I got part of it when in the army but any under the age of 25 could enter for it but some of it was very hard to get. But it was a very good scheme and a great help to the young I think it is still going on today.
God save the Queen.

More popular than ever in 100 plus countries, a great legacy to leave behind.

It's the paper boy I feel most sorry for:-
'Longest Daily Mail newspaper in history at 144 pages rolls off the printing presses as Britain mourns the death of Prince Philip'

I walked down the town today and was pleasantly surprised by the number of flags quietly fluttering away at half mast, including the castle and some in private properties.

When a radio presenter interviewed a lady who sold him a 1lb of sausages in her butchers shop 30years ago i was beginning to think they were running out of things to talk about.

To day went off well even the sun was good to the family, Queen sitting by her self. The coffin bearers were very good long way with lots of steps to go up the military turnout was the best, timing was to the second as it should.

In which case you need not have left such a pointless comment.
My sympathy is entirely with the Queen who has lost her partner of over 70 years, a man who obviously meant a lot to her and did so much to benefit so many.

Wonderful service but am I alone in missing the King James Bible version?
