He is regarded
as an extraordinary man who had given the "most remarkable, devoted
service" to the Queen, the Royal Family, the country, and the Commonwealth
over the last 70 years. —said Prince Charles.
As former Prime
Minister Sir John Major stated, ‘being the head of state was a "lonely
position in many ways" for the Queen, and the duke was "the person to
whom she could unburden herself".’
Gun salutes have
been fired across the UK, and people across the world have paid tribute to his
death. His title is never merely ‘the husband of Queen Elizabeth II’ but is
recognised as a good officer, family royal member, husband and father.
Prince Philip's funeral will take place at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle on Saturday April 17, and a national minute's silence will be held to coincide with the start of the funeral at 15:00 BST.
菲利普親王（愛丁堡公爵）
當愛丁堡公爵菲利普親王99歲去世時，這個週末在英國尤其令人難過。
他被認為是一位非凡的人，在過去的70年中，他為女王，王室，國家和英聯邦提供了“最傑出，最奉獻的服務”。 查爾斯王子說。
正如前首相約翰·梅傑爵士所說：“對女王而言，擔任國家元首在許多方面都是孤獨的，而公爵則是”她可以減輕自己負擔的人”。
菲利普親王的葬禮將在溫莎城堡的聖喬治教堂舉行，與國家葬禮的開始時間同步於英國下午3點將有一分鐘的靜默時間。
