Duke Of Edinburgh In Hospital.

[Theland]

98 and gone into hospital for a check up on a pre existing condition.
Has had a good run after landing on his feet all those years ago.
A very fortunate man.
Has, "worked hard," and, "supported the Queen," and given, "a life of service to our country."
Oh dear. Tears welling up in my eyes.

Glesgae?...I hope you arent part of Scotlands shame?

[Peter Pedant]

they must have thought long and hard about remitting the old boy to Hozzie

I hope he does OK

PS I wouldnt like to be the admitting consultant

[Barsel]

PP I wouldn't like to be the bed pan nurse!

[shoota]

I'll bet that is another 'annus horribilis'.

[pixie374]

He has, theland. I hope he is ok. He is certainly a character:-)

//Up here in Scotland it is sectarianism.Scotlands(west coast)shame.//

Is that the sickness that moved to N.I. but is somehow, conveniently for some, deemed to be an"English" problem?

I hope that the DoE gets well soon and when the time inevitably comes that he passes peacefully surrounded by his family and loved ones. I also hope that everyone gets the final days that they wish for others.

I agree JimF ....the queen is a person whom I have never met and will never meet. I will feel absolutely nothing when she pops her clogs....similar to when Diana died.....how can anyone get over excited about total strangers who have nothing at all to do with you?

[Bobbisox1]

I’ve never met any of them either but I’m pleased we have a Royal family,I cried for Diana because she was a hunted soul with the paparazzi who left two little boys without their Mum

[JimF]

"I’m pleased we have a Royal family"

Why?

[anneasquith]

Do you think he will be in a 4 bedded or 6 bedded room ?

[Bobbisox1]

Because I don’t want a republic JimF, when yous break away you can enjoy it is whatever you want :0)

[Old_Geezer]

That just poses the question, why not.

[Togo]

//"I’m pleased we have a Royal family"

Why?//

Because we would be nearly French, or German , or American or Scottish if we didn't. No thanks. :))

[gulliver1]

Do you think he will have to lie on the floor, covered with a coat for six hours because there is not a bed available ? .

[Prudie]

No and neither would the leader of a republic.

[DTCwordfan]

this isn't 2016 with a pair of socialist shitt-stirrers sitting in Leeds General, gulliver - and the kid wasn't ill, the parents were - flu.

[Bobbisox1]

DT, I fear you’re wasting your time

[DTCwordfan]

probably, as he doesn't rise to the bait....!

[Bobbisox1]

No bait, he just doesn’t back up what he says ...ever

Gulliver, //Do you think he will have to lie on the floor, covered with a coat for six hours because there is not a bed available ? . //

Don't know, but if his mum puts him there and takes a picture and sends it to the press I might.

I never liked him but I admire his dedication to the queen and his service of this country. Your post is mean, Theland.
