    I was surprised to read that his mother is buried here.

      His family background is all rather complicated.

      His mother was an Orthodox nun. Her story is sad, and remarkable.

    Here I am in Greece and got the news via NZ! Twice since living here I've seen a TV documentary about the life of his mother; 'complicated' isn't half of it.

      I believe she went bonkers (technical term).

      He was a wonderful man. My late Father-in-Law (a senior diplomat) met him several times, and we have the obligatory signed photo in our collection.

    I think 'remarkable' is a very apt adjective. for him.

      I'll genuinely miss having him no longer around.

    I thoroughly enjoyed his sense of humour and fond recall the time he turned a hosepipe on to the press when visiting a Cornish Claymine in the 60's

      Hi Heron. Yes he was always up to his pranks. Not many other pranksters around these days.

    A familiar figure all of my life. It is so sad that he has now gone. The end of an era you might say.

      He and the Princess Elizabeth were married when I was ONE year old, so they've always been a part of my life too.

    I am sad that he has now departed but pleased that he and the Queen got to spend more time together in the final year of his life. RIP Prince Philip.
