It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
I don’t mind the royals and understand it’s a sad time for them but 8 days national mourning and no normal radio and TV is a tad over the top considering the year we’ve had. Anyway as long as the grand national is on the box I’m happy.
Rachel to he First Lady winner or Burrows saints. That’s my 2.

I thought that the BBC coverage was over the top yesterday. The same tribute coverage on both BBC1 and 2 all evening. Still, at least it wasn’t a total whitewash job and they did allude to his affairs briefly in a subtle way.
It pi55ed my missus off that she couldn't watch the Masterchef final, but let's face it, it was a pretty heavy news story bearing in mind who he was. Problem was that if the Beeb was to show happy clappy type programmes they would have been slated for disrespecting the man who, despite what some people might think, did a helluva lot for this country and the Monarchy throughout the world.
He was no doubt an absolute rock for the Queen and did give up his probable preferred career in the Navy to help his wife and her inherited career!
Yes it was a privileged life no doubt but 24/7/365 for a lifetime in the public eye must take some doing. He deserved the recognition in my view rather than just 2 minutes silence and a half hour obituary programme

Don't be so disrespectful. It's about time you moved on with your fascination with this forum.
It's called attention seeking that the lonely Walter Mitty types often desire and have to say something controversial and different. I have no objections to differing views, but this guy just takes the biscuit with his name calling and apparent dislike for anything or anyone that gives a different opinion to his if indeed those opinions are genuine.
I wonder what his "boys" think of their father, although they haven't been mentioned for a while. Maybe he's forgotten about them

I get the distinct feeling that 22 is not a tall man...

I expected a full tribute on one side but it just seems odd to run the same tribute on both channels.

Fair response 22, but your usage of the silly ‘Daily Fail’ means I shall now buy one tomorrow just to check if it is....

This is meant to be a thread about Prince Philip, whether you are a royalist or not everyone should have some respect for his passing or indeed anyones passing and not turn it into name calling and an opportunity to abuse others, this is aimed at everyone not just the post I have put this message on

Same offender starting it off nearly every time, when it's anything about politics, Brexit, the Royals, you name it, there's S22. Bitterness personified.

That is what happens when it is the state broadcaster. Maybe, it should be run under a different model?
You seem to be missing my point. I am not saying it should not have run an extensive tribute. That is exactly what it should do. I am saying it was pointless running exactly the same content at the same time on both channels.

My point is it is the state broadcaster, of course it is going to switch its 2 main channels (+ the news) to capture as many people as possible.
its collection of other services will offer something different.
When the Queen pops it, it will be like this but by a factor of 10. Don't like it, don'f fund it
