Speaking today in Parliament, The Prime Minister paid tribute to His Royal Highness Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh.
Boris reminds us of Prince Philip's extraordinary life of service to the United Kingdom and Commonwealth and to Her Majesty The Queen.
Whether it be as a highly distinguished officer in the Royal Navy, the founder of the Duke of Edinburgh Awards or as a patron of so many charities, he gave so much to our country, as well as being a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather.
He now rests in peace and our thoughts are with Her Majesty The Queen and her family at this difficult time.
