Just imagine how many meetings, interviews, state's dinners, travels, he had during all his life

The sight of the Queen sitting in the chapel by herself during the funeral is a sad emblem of our times. Too many people have had to do the same in the past year. My condolences to her and all the people that knew and loved her husband best.

He once said he had no intention of becoming a centenarian and wanted to go out with a private funeral with the least fuss. He really died 2 months before he turned 100, died peacefully and will get a private funeral.. i love that for him.

[Nishkid]

Im in my early 30s and still can't believe that I would be able to see the world changing within a 100 years like this guy.

I feel sorry for the queen and his family. She probably can't remember a time when he wasn't in her life. Condolences to the queen and her family.

[DiaFollicle]

Whether one chooses to grieve or not, to have lived such a life and to pass away peacefully at 99 is still rather amazing. He, in his own right, was a man of his time and the quintessential idea of royal consort. Also sending condolences to others, like myself, who are grieving the loss of a beloved father.

Queen's super cute voice in 0:17 stole my attention "I'm so happy that my future husband is by my side" and Prince Philip was so charming with his shyness

Just two months shy of a full century of life, most of it spent walking 3 steps behind his wife and Queen sovereign, except on this one occasion for the first and last time when the Queen herself followed his hearse, on his very final journey...R.I.P. To the late Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, for whom it has been a long, eventful, and blessed time on this earth, what a really incredible life journey it was!...

[SindyJ]

The way he walked behind his Queen with his hands clasped behind his back...such a dignified and respected man

[moonlight-byfz]

He’s a definition of ‘Prince Charming’. Rest in Peace

[goldfish]

The Duke lives on especially through his daughter. What a splendid, admirable woman the Princess Royal is! In her face, there is all the strength, humanity, courage, humour and genuine sensitivity which was the hallmark of her father.

[ethelnewberry]

Back in the day he was a very handsome young man.

[southerncross]

For a man, any man, to walk behind his wife while in public because he was told to do so shows loyalty and commitment to holy matrimony. That he did it for over 50 years shows love. RIP

[badronchow]

I genuinely feel so sad for our Queen-how lonely she will be now without his true companion by her side! Great respect for Prince Philip and deepest condolences to the Queen and family 😢

[rosyorose]

Prince Phillip dedicated himself to a life which went way beyond mere service to others...His actions via The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme enriched and changed so many young people's lives...His sacrifice for and unwavering loyalty and support to our Queen will be sorely missed by many....May he rest in peace....and my sincere condolences to the Queen and the rest of his family....🙏🏻😢💔

The Queen and Prince Philip, are very fortunate to find each other and stay together for more than 73 years. Many people failed to find their true love and many married couples divorces after staying together for a few years. RIP Prince Philip.

I think Prince Philip did not want too die in hospital and he went home to be with the Queen, knowing the end was near, a fine Man of the highest character, integrity who contributed so much throughout his life

[pierslindsay]

Such a handsome man in his day. So witty with his one liners. My thoughts are with the Queen.

[Rachel-mixz]

Prince Philip was a very handsome man with a great sense of humour that counts for alot in a marriage, they probably had some really great funny times together and now he has gone from her side and I feel so sad for her 😞
RIP Philip xx

As a simple American watching this video report,
I must say that even I owe my attention to this great
man of Britain. After all, my lineage is English/Irish,
and my roots are certainly there. This man showed
himself excellent in all his duties and dedication to,
not only the Queen, but also to the British people. I
have heard of him throughout my 64 years on this
earth, and all was good. May God comfort the Queen,
and may the great Prince rest in the arms of Jesus,
and may God comfort the British people.
