Sir Peter Field KCVO KStJ JP said, “I am sure that people in all parts of our county will be very sad to hear the news that his Royal Highness Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, has sadly passed away aged 99.

“The Duke has been a constant companion and support to Her Majesty the Queen for over 70 years and has been a tremendous example to us all in the interest that he took in all things, but in particular with young people through the establishment of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards and in the fields of world wildlife conservation and ecology, and design and engineering.
