Prince Philip RIP 1921 - 2021 On hearing the sad news about Prince Philip, I thought we would share a very special, private meeting we had with him and the Queen. We met them both at The Centre for Life on one of the many trips to the North East. I found they both lovely, kind and down to earth, I do remember how he listened and how he looked at the Queen - sweet. He will be missed by all RIP #princephilip #dukeofedinburgh #RIP
