Yeah he only fought in WW2 on top of all the royal stuff as well. He’s done more than any of us will. So did millions of others, it was nothing special for his generation. They did but his service to this country has been massive in several ways.

Expect there will be black armbands and a minutes silence before tomorrow's games. Fortunately McClean won't be playing.

After his family was kicked out of Greece they had more sense than us, he has had a pampered life mostly at my, and your, expense. If you were happy to pay for it I certainly wasn't.

15 hours of continuous coverage on the three biggest channels for the death of a 99 year old man is utterly insane. I get that he meant something to some people and there is a respect thread on the madhouse next door but this is barmy, talk of cancelling sport is barmy. If they cancel The Wall tomorrow I'm writing a fucking letter! Drop 'Em

He's watched more natives dancing than any of us could bear. And those coaches don't drive themselves. And someone's got to blow the shit out of all that wildlife. He's had a tough time of it if you ask me.

When it’s the funeral of Prince Phillip?I seem to remember this happened after Diana’s death on Sep 6th 1997 Only you for whom that could be their first thought. Depends what day it is? Diana's was a Saturday to allow for mass attendance along the route. Not sure they'll want to encourage that right now. Queen Mother's was on a Tuesday (9 April 2002 since you ask) - you're probably geeky enough to know if we had a midweek game that night and who was the 63rd minute substitute! Only 30 allowed at funerals and only 15 at a wake.

And he is one of the last left. His death marks a remembrance of all those who fought and is the end of an era. He, like all those who fought, deserves our greatest respect.

There is blanket coverage on BBC1 for those who are interested, so why on earth is BBC2 showing the same programme and BBC4 gone off air?

For his service to the country, which our royal family do for nothing more than lots of money and power ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/kwfoKwtHI0jglJZ4qZf6.gif) We are blessed. See if you can put these two words in the right order...... end bell

I don't understand why all channels are carrying the same programmes. I shall be missing my gardening tips for the week from Monty Don.

Both BBC1 and BBC2 showing the same tribute programme is ridiculous. Every sympathy and respect to the family and no problem with blanket coverage on one channel. Can you image the coverage when Queen Liz goes, we’ll be in mourning for months.

Whilst I have sympathy for any family when they lose a loved one, I personally do not support the principle of the monarchy as an institution. But hey, there's plenty of internet TV to watch so I guess I'll watch that until the furore calms down.

The most absurd tribute of all.

Well with Northern Ireland on fire. The most corrupt government in decades. 50% less trade with our largest trading block and another mess with communication on the roadmap to "normal". Boris will be able to put on a black tie and hide behind this for two or three weeks and shuffle a load more shit stories to the middle of the papers. Meanwhile people watch re-runs of the 1960s royal tours of Trinidad and Tobago and listen to Nicholas Witchell droaning on. Takes the collective minds off the shit-show for a while.
