I went to a peacock park with my hiking group. The locals were pretty relaxed about posing but this one seemed to have a bit of attitude!
Today (17 April 2021) at 15:00 UK time one minute's silence will mark the start of the funeral of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh at Windsor Castle. Our thoughts will be with the Queen mourning her husband of 73 years and their amazing devotion to duty since she became Queen in 1952.

One of my roles at the school I'm at is to lead the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme and this school year we've been back to normal with all the expeditions following Covid. I've been lucky enough to be on four different expeditions, two bronze and two silver. This was the last of them - I was in charge of 20 kids doing their Silver qualifying journey in Chiang Mai province. This was the last day, starting the hike climbing through orange groves and into the mountains on the border with Myanmar.

The flag over Buckingham Palace flying at half-mast following the death just a few days ago of HRH The Duke of Edinburgh
Buckingham Palace is the London residence and administrative headquarters of the monarch of the United Kingdom.
Located in the City of Westminster, the palace is often at the centre of state occasions and royal hospitality and has been a focal point for the British people at times of national rejoicing and mourning.
Originally known as Buckingham House, the building at the core of today's palace was a large townhouse built for the Duke of Buckingham in 1703 on a site that had been in private ownership for at least 150 years. It was acquired by King George III in 1761 as a private residence for Queen Charlotte and became known as The Queen's House. During the 19th century it was enlarged with three wings being constructed around a central courtyard.
Buckingham Palace became the London residence of the British monarch on the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837.
The last major structural additions were made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the East Front, which contains the well-known balcony on which the British royal family traditionally congregates to greet crowds.
End of an era. Her Majesty The Queen meeting Cambridge University staff back in 2009 for the University’s 800th Anniversary. She is accompanied by Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, who was the Chancellor of the University from 1977 to 2011.
……A photo of Prince Philip with my Dad at the 1970 National Cycling Championships Saffron Lane Stadium in Leicestershire (August 8th). Pop (Benny Foster) was Director Organiser of the event and was instrumental in getting the track rebuilt there, a state of the art wooden track… I know Pop would have been deeply saddened by today's news, which is why I’ve decided to post this. Our thoughts and condolences at this sad time for Her Majesty The Queen and the Royal Family…..

I'm stampolina and I love to take photos of stamps. Thanks for visiting this pages on flickr.
I'm neither a typical collector of stamps, nor a stamp dealer. I'm only a stamp photograph. I'm fascinated of the fine close-up structures which are hidden in this small stamp-pictures. Please don't ask of the worth of these stamps - the most ones have a worth of a few cents or still less.
By the way, I wanna say thank you to all flickr users who have sent me stamps! Great! Thank you! Someone sent me 3 or 5 stamps, another one sent me more than 20 stamps in a letter. It's everytime a great surprise for me and I'm everytime happy to get letters with stamps inside from you!

God bless His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
10th of June, 1921 - 9th of April, 2021.
He will be mourned by many, myself included.
I am very sad today and have shed tears at the passing of a man who has been beside our Queen for 74 years of marriage, and been a staple all my life. For me, as long as there has been Queen Elizabeth, there has been Prince Phillip.

HRH The Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, in his role as Chancellor of the University of Cambridge.
.... I took these photographs of Prince Philip, on April 27, 2013, his last visit to Toronto & Canada. His visit was a short one — without his wife, the Queen — to present a ceremonial flag to the Royal Canadian Regiment's 3rd Battalion. In these photos, Prince Philip, inspects members of the 3rd Battalion of the Royal Canadian Regiment at Ontario's Legislative Building (Queen's Park) The Prince was the regiment's Colonel-In-Chief & was on hand to retire the Regimen's old color at a formal ceremony....
On 3 April 1980, the Her Majesty the Queen attended Lord High Admiral's Divisions at the Britannia Royal Naval College, Dartmouth. Her husband and consort, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh is seen above inspecting some of those on parade.
The primary reason for the Royal attendance was that this was the passing-out parade for their second son, Prince Andrew, who was beginning his naval career. Prince Andrew is not in the image - his platoon was off to the right.
Prince Philip, in the uniform of an Admiral of the Fleet, is being escorted the the Commander of the College (second-in-command). The Lieutenant Commander trailing them is probably an equerry to His Royal Highness. The Duke is rounding the end of the front rank of a platoon in order to inspect those in the second rank. As for much of his professional and personal life, he is following the Queen, who has already passed by (see first comment below).
The title Lord High Admiral began in the 15th century. Most since have been courtiers or members of the Royal Family, and not professional naval officers. In medieval England the Lord High Admiral was one of the nine Great Officers of State.
From the 17th century onwards, when an individual Lord High Admiral was appointed, there was also a Council of the Lord High Admiral which assisted him and performed some of the duties of the Admiralty. When the office was not occupied by an individual, it was "put into commission" and exercised by a board of Lords Commissioners headed by a First Lord of the Admiralty, and this was the usual arrangement from 1709 until 1964, when the office of First Lord of the Admiralty was finally abolished and the functions of the Lords Commissioners were transferred to the Admiralty Board of the tri-service Defence Council of the United Kingdom.
In 1964 the ancient title of Lord High Admiral was vested in the sovereign. In 2011, the title was bestowed by Elizabeth II onto her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, on the occasion of his 90th birthday. Sadly today, 9 April 2021, his death at the ripe old age of 99 has been reported.

Everyone at Greater Manchester Police offers our condolences to Her Majesty The Queen & the Royal Family. His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, served our country with dedication. May he rest in peace.

Bloodhound is a 19.2-metre (63 ft) ocean racing yacht. She was designed by Charles E. Nicholson and built by Camper and Nicholsons in 1936. From 1962 to 1969 she was owned by the British Royal Family and in January 2010 she was purchased by The Royal Yacht Britannia Trust.In 1962 Bloodhound was purchased for the Royal Family at the request of Prince Philip. In February she was sailed from Plymouth to Gosport to be refitted by Camper and Nicholsons and the work was finished by June. Prince Philip sailed Bloodhound with Uffa Fox at Cowes Week in August of that year.
During Royal ownership Bloodhound would accompany The Royal Yacht Britannia in the Western Isles when the Royal Family had their one true family holiday every year. She had a permanent crew of three and one Skipper was a descendent of Sir Francis Drake. It was during these times that the young Royals learned to sail on Bloodhound. When not in Royal use, Bloodhound and her crew were made available to yacht clubs across the country, used to teach thousands of young people how to sail.
In 1969 Bloodhound was sold and not replaced by the Royal Family. Bloodhound then effectively retired from racing. Over time she gradually fell into considerable disrepair and very nearly became beyond salvage. However, in 2002 she was bought by Richard Carr [2] before being purchased by Tony McGrail, a yacht surveyor and classic yacht restorer, in 2003. Over the next 3½ years she underwent a major internal and external refit to bring her back to her original pristine condition.
In January 2010 Bloodhound was purchased by The Royal Yacht Britannia Trust and is now berthed alongside The Royal Yacht Britannia in Leith where she can be viewed from the pontoon.
During July and August, the fully restored, 63 foot Royal Racing Yacht Bloodhound is available from Oban Marina for private day sailing around Scotland's West Coast for up to eight guests.

HRH Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh has died at the age of 99. He was Chancellor of the University of Cambridge from 1977 to 2011. I saw a different man than the one often portrayed by the media.
Sainsbury's celebrates its 150th anniversary this year. The company is the second largest chain of supermarkets in the United Kingdom and was founded in 1869, by John James Sainsbury.

This is a black and white shot of ‘Mon Repos’, the famous villa, on Corfu Island within a 64-acre (258,000 m²) park, the Palaeopolis archaeological site of Corfu, Greece. The villa was designed by the local architect Ioannis Chronēs and was erected in 1831. It became the property of the former Greek royal family in May 1864 and was mainly used as their summer Palace since 1955 until 1967.
On June 10, 1921 the late Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (the father of 🇬🇧 HM King Charles III) was born there. Mon Repos is currently used as an Archaeological Museum.

O´Shannessy Lodge, Warburton, Victoria in 1954. My colorization of Percy Spiden´s photo in the State Library Victoria archive.
"On a summer's day, on February 3, 1954, the 32-year-old Duke and his wife Queen Elizabeth II, then only 27, arrived in Sydney on the Royal Yacht Britannia for the start of an epic eight-week tour, that took in 57 towns and cities across Australia. They were embarking on a six-month tour of the British Empire only eight months after the Queen's Coronation, as Prince Charles and Princess Anne stayed in London with a nanny. In 58 days, they visited every state capital, except Darwin, and toured regional centres from Burnie in northern Tasmania to Kalgoorlie in Western Australia and Broken Hill, a mining town in the far-west of New South Wales, with up to three-quarters of Australians catching a glimpse of the Queen and Prince Philip."

One is amused ...
Smiling warmly on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, her majesty the Queen, acknowledges tens of thousands of cheering, flag-waving royal supporters this afternoon. Her appearance marks the end of four days of nationwide celebrations marking her 60-years on the British throne. Queen Elizabeth II is 85-years-old. Looking good, ma'am .... :-)
Her radiant smile, though, masked her concern at her husband's, Prince Philip, Duke Of Edinburgh, sudden illness. At 90, he was admitted to hospital last night, suffering with a bladder infection. Always at her side during state occasions, it's unusual to see The Queen without him.
Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, who died today, was the Chancellor of the University of Cambridge from December 1996 to June 2011.
Pageantry at the 41 Gun Salute Tower of London
With traditional pageantry, COVID masked Beefeaters stand guard as the salute is fired although with 41 firings of the guns it took the best part of 45 minutes to mark the passing of Prince Philip.
[It was surprisingly difficult to get any front facing shots of the ceremony since ticket offices and gift shops shield the Tower's esplanade by the Thames, leaving only very narrow gaps even if you could get into position. The Fuji 100-400 with x1.4 converter was essential to have any chance of getting "close".]
The State Bentley
The Bentley State Limousine is an official state car created by Bentley for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the occasion of her Golden Jubilee in 2002. Only two were built and both are in the Royal Mews.
The State Limousine is 83.0 cm (2.723 ft) longer than a standard Bentley Arnage, 25.5 cm (10.0 in) taller, and 6.8 cm (2.7 in) wider. It is equipped with broad coach doors that open to the rear almost 90 degrees. Opaque panels over the backlight of the car can be installed for either added privacy or removed for added visibility of its passengers. For protection of its occupants, the bodywork and glass are armoured, the cabin can be sealed air-tight in case of gas attack and is also blast-resistant, and the tyres are kevlar-reinforced.
When the Queen is on board, the Bentley "Flying B" bonnet ornament is either replaced by the Queen's personal mascot of Saint George slaying the dragon (made by the artist Edward Seago) or a single standing Lion, which is used in Scotland. The limousines are equipped with flashing blue lights, two in the grille and two on the front bumper. The State Limousines do not have number plates. The Bentley is claret and black like all the British state limousines.
The two limousines are said to be valued at 10 million GBP each.
