| Alex Easton MLA said: “In a speech marking her Diamond Jubilee in 2012 Her Majesty the Queen described her husband as her “constant strength and guide” and there is no doubt he has made an immeasurable contribution to our Monarchy and our nation. Prince Philip has been that source of strength as a husband for nearly 75 years and for nearly 70 as the longest serving consort to a British monarch.” “He was forthright, intelligent and forward-thinking; serving as patron to some 800 organizations and leaving his most lasting legacy through the Duke of Edinburgh’s award scheme. Prince Philip alongside the Queen visited Northern Ireland and Bangor and was always received with much affection.” “Again, the words of Her Majesty the Queen sum up his lifetime of service, that we “owe him a debt greater than he will ever claim, or that we will ever know, we will not see his like again!”
