The third in the line to the throne also said he would miss his 'grandpa', but pledged to 'do what he would have wanted and will support the Queen in the years ahead', and revealed how his children would always treasure the time they spent with their great-grandfather before he died."

My mum did something similar the day before she died. She had been unresponsive for days but she suddenly smiled and lifted her arms as if hugging someone. I truly believe it was her dad who brought her up alone. She put her arms back down and within a short space of time her breathing changed. The hospice nurse said it happens often just before death.

[user104658]

Not to put a downer of things but in the lead up to my mum's death she was occasionally screaming in terror at the monsters perched in the upper corners of her hospital room. So either she was unfortunately headed downstairs rather than into the arms of baby jesus... or it was just hallucinations caused by the buildup of toxins in her system due to liver and kidney failure.

Harry's statement...

My grandfather was a man of service, honour and great humour. He was authentically himself, with a seriously sharp wit, and could hold the attention of any room due to his charm—and also because you never knew what he might say next.

He will be remembered as the longest reigning consort to the Monarch, a decorated serviceman, a Prince and a Duke. But to me, like many of you who have lost a loved one or grandparent over the pain of this past year, he was my grandpa: master of the barbecue, legend of banter, and cheeky right ‘til the end.

He has been a rock for Her Majesty The Queen with unparalleled devotion, by her side for 73 years of marriage, and while I could go on, I know that right now he would say to all of us, beer in hand, ‘Oh do get on with it!’

So, on that note, Grandpa, thank you for your service, your dedication to Granny, and for always being yourself. You will be sorely missed, but always remembered—by the nation and the world. Meghan, Archie, and I (as well as your future great-granddaughter) will always hold a special place for you in our hearts.

Lovely tributes from the Princes

[bots]

The BBC has received 100,000 complaints from members of the public over its coverage of the Duke of Edinburgh's death, according to the Sun newspaper.

The corporation cleared its schedules to cover the news when Prince Philip died on Friday, at the age of 99.

EastEnders and the MasterChef final were replaced by news programmes, while BBC Four was taken off air completely.

The BBC said: "We are proud of our coverage and the role we play during moments of national significance."

However, it declined to confirm the number of complaints it received.

The figures are due to be included in the broadcaster's fortnightly complaints bulletin on Thursday.

A figure of 100,000 would make the coverage of Prince Philip's death the most complained-about piece of programming in BBC history.

Other programmes that attracted a high volume of correspondence included the broadcast of Jerry Springer: The Opera, which received 63,000 complaints in 2005; and Russell Brand's prank call to actor Andrew Sachs, which drew 42,000 complaints in 2008.

The BBC was not alone in adjusting its schedule to reflect Prince Philip's death, with ITV and Channel 4 both broadcasting extended news coverage.

However, many viewers turned away as the day wore on, with ITV's Friday night audience declining by 60% in comparison to the previous week, according to overnight figures.

BBC One's audience also dropped six per cent week-on-week, while BBC Two lost two-thirds of its audience, with just 340,000 people tuning in at any time between 7pm and 11pm.

The most-watched programme on a single channel on Friday night was Channel 4's Gogglebox, with 4.2 million viewers.

On Saturday, the BBC put a dedicated form on its website to allow viewers to complain about the TV coverage, in recognition of the volume of complaints.

The form was removed on Sunday, after the number of complaints began to fall, the corporation said.

...I read that earlier, bots...it’s over 110,000 complaints now ...tbh, I rarely watch regular TV anyway so I hadn’t realised any extent of coverage... maybe it’s been more as well because COvID has restricted the funeral...from what has always been said of Philip’s ‘no fuss’ type mindset, he would probably be saying, oh put Eastenders back on and let’s see what the Slater gals are up to...

Even with how both William & Harry are grieving is being scrutinised and compared in the media, even their separate statements paying tribute .

When who cares if William was more formal with his words, and Harry more laid back. They both miss their grandad.

I think you will find they are merely looking at the different styles which reflects their personalities. Williams is a little more serious with a personal touch and Harry's is a little more laid back....both have been admired in their different styles.

Yes i agree and their tribute to his grandfather is shambolic.

I thought their 2 line 'tribute' had no warmth at all, as if he was practically a stranger.

[Tom4784]

People grieve how they will, it's their grief, not ours. It's gross to judge someone grieving the loss of a loved one just because you happen not to like them.

[Marsh.]

Also, they are under no obligation to illustrate their grief in its entirety in a public statement. It's their grief, not for your consumption, no matter who they are.

[Tom4784]

Yup, a person's grief is not entertainment for the masses. Their lives and their pain is not a soap for us to partake in from a safe distance

I'd repeat it again too, because that is what it was like as a public tribute...I was far from alone in thinking so.
I did not comment on how he might be feeling privately at all.

[hijaxers]

That was the original page they put out not todays tribute :fist:

commenting on someone's public statement is not expressing an opinion on how that person should or should not grieve. I don't think i've heard anything more ludicrous

It was a short remembrance message put up the day Philip died, before Harry had even had time to process the death let alone put something down in his own words for your satisfaction.

Then report the thread? :shrug:

Although your attempt at connecting that to what Dezzy said doesn't work. The thread has nothing to do with making a soap or entertainment of the loved ones grief who are also not likely to see the thread.

Actively going onto national TV or into national newspapers telling the world someone's statement about their own grandfather wasn't good enough, as though to quantify their grief is a completely different thing.

[Beso]

A lot of people are taking the opportunity to attack peoples opinions in a thread about someone dying.

That's tragic.

Williams statement in full:

My grandfather’s century of life was defined by service – to his country and Commonwealth, to his wife and Queen, and to our family.

I feel lucky to have not just had his example to guide me, but his enduring presence well into my own adult life – both through good times and the hardest days. I will always be grateful that my wife had so many years to get to know my grandfather and for the kindness he showed her. I will never take for granted the special memories my children will always have of their great-grandpa coming to collect them in his carriage and seeing for themselves his infectious sense of adventure as well as his mischievous sense of humour!

My grandfather was an extraordinary man and part of an extraordinary generation. Catherine and I will continue to do what he would have wanted and will support The Queen in the years ahead. I will miss my Grandpa, but I know he would want us to get on with the job.

Lovely statements from both his grandsons. :love:

And that has absolutely jack **** to do with anything. There's a difference between guessing who will die in the coming year and literally judging someone for how they are grieving their grandfather's death one or two days after it happened.

I don't understand the complete mental gymnastics a person would need to compare the two and act like they are the same thing. Guessing who is going to die is not inherently a malicious act, a person doesn't play that game and be like 'gee whiz! I hope this person dies!' but attacking someone for grieving the loss of a loved one will always be a malicious act.

[Tom4784]

Also can we stop with the sanctimonious and incredibly disingenuous clutching of pearls over that game? Especially when people are trying to make out that it's worse than literally bashing someone for not grieving how they want them to.

Get some perspective.

I'm pleased Her Majesty the Queen has decreed NO ONE of the family will be in military dress for the funeral.

That's a huge move from usual Royal funerals.

I'm pleased she has looked at, had it been permitted, that Prince Harry would have likely been the odd one out.

It seems, the Queen is far more concerned with Prince Harry's feelings too, much more than some other less kindly sources.

Of course too, it is to protect Prince Andrew too no doubt.

It's a fairly strong indication that The Queen herself is currently finding herself aligning more towards the importance of family relationships than the pantomime and ceremony of tradition. As I think a lot of us suspected, but certainly much more than some would like us to believe.

She is doing absolutely the right thing, the day is about Philip not about who wears what, it shows how skilled the Queen is at nipping controversy in the bud rather than throwing fuel on the fire

She is doing absolutely the right thing, the day is about Philip not about who wears what, it shows how skilled the Queen is at nipping controversy in the bud rather than throwing fuel on the fire

Nobody did that.
Of course playing a game of guessing when real people will die is twisted.

Yet gatekeeping grieving and trying to bash someone for not grieving how people want them to is perfectly fine? Get real.

EastEnders and the MasterChef final were
replaced by news programmes,

both nationally and internationally".
It added: "We acknowledge some viewers were unhappy

The BBC has confirmed it received 109,741 complaints from the public over its coverage of the Duke of Edinburgh's death.

The corporation cleared its schedules to cover the news when Prince Philip died on Friday, at the age of 99.

EastEnders and the MasterChef final were replaced by news programmes, while BBC Four was taken off air completely.

The BBC said it was "a significant event which generated a lot of interest both nationally and internationally".

It added: "We acknowledge some viewers were unhappy with the level of coverage given, and impact this had on the billed TV and Radio schedules.

"We do not make such changes without careful consideration and the decisions made reflect the role the BBC plays as the national broadcaster, during moments of national significance.

"We are grateful for all feedback, and we always listen to the response from our audiences."

The corporation's fortnightly complaints report was published on Thursday.

The figure makes the coverage of Prince Philip's death the most complained-about piece of programming in BBC history

Anyone who thinks that is twisted while they are bashing someone for not grieving the way they want them to lacks self awareness to a serious degree.

Except me and other people have pointed out instances in the very recent past where it's happened. Again, feigning ignorance does not help. I remember you replying to those posts that called out such behaviour so you're definitely aware of them.

I see nothing sinister ,his 3 grandsons together, William and Harry dont have to be joined at the hip.

[joeysteele]

Well, it seems from all reports this funeral had been planned by Prince Philip himself.
Which if things can be, is how it should be.

So he wanted William on the right side and Harry on the left side of him whichever one is where.

So what on earth are the media doing being so disrespectful to Prince Philip's memory and plans by trying to create divisive drama where on the day there probably is none, and neither should there be.

i am sure everyone that attends will just want the event to be over as quick as possible so that they can get on with living their lives, they wont use it as a platform to discuss family issues :laugh:

I have had to set up my old Slow Cooker as the proceedings will be underway when I normally cook my Saturday evening meal, and the kitchen will be closed as a mark of respect during proceedings.

Plus as a servant of the British Crown, I suspect I am obligated to tune into it.

By the time the proceedings are concluded it would be too late to cook. If it were not for the slow cooker which I had forgotten about until last night, I was looking at having to skip the Saturday evening meal entirely.

Harry's got more that Will. Must have won a quiz 9 years ago or something.

Also apparently they're giving out medals for touching up 17 year olds at parties :think:

Just watched it, it did bring a tear to my eyes, just so precise and dignified, what a send off, makes me proud how we do these things.

For anyone interested (and has catch up, BBC1) there is a lovely documentary
'Prince Philip; the Royal Family Remembers' - A tribute to Prince Philip, filmed before and afer his death.
Most of the family share their special memories. It's very touching.
