Prince Philip

I remember walking along St George's Terrace back in 1977 & noticed some bloke & his wife in a car waving at me. It was Phil. I waved back.

RIP

The signs haven't looked good for him for some time.

by Fred Nerk Fri 09 Apr 2021, 15:27

He hasn't looked particularly healthy since about 1994.

RIP Phil

Another month and he would have been out of 99.94.

Hello. The cant over Sir Phil's demise is ludicrous.

You'll turn me into a Collingwood supporter before a royalist, but I can kinda understand it just from the viewpoint of continuity - (insert year of your birth), how many holders of (insert office) since that year have been and gone? And if this is beyond the pale, it'll be as nothing next to when his better half follows him

RIP Peter Warner

He won three Sydney to Hobart yacht races but his 1966 rescue of stranded Tongan teenagers is probably more interesting.

Incredible life. As a lad I can remember watching Warners yacht Astor have a tacking duel with Ondine at the finish of the Sydney/Hobart which Ondine won by 57 seconds.

Helen McCrory actress and occasional columnist in broadsheets dead at 52. She and her hubby last year ran a 'feed the NHS workers' campaign during CV 19, before her cancer further slowed her. RIP.
