End of an Era ...

End of an era .. many happy memories of HRH Duke of Edinburgh photo assingments over the years ... having been told to 'Bugger off" numerous times , has since allowed me to say to others " I've been insulted by more high profile folk than you". Great times shadowing him around Cambridge - by push bike alongside the much missed Tim Holt We once tied photo copied royal standards on our bike baskets! - HRH in his limo.

A Controversial individual for sure but without doubt a true support to the Monarch who knew his role. I will always be indebted to the man for my professional career of 40 plus years as a direct result of particpation on the Duke of edinburgh Award scheme.

He loved his IPA , while others drank the champagne , so I will raise a glass this evening.
