When the silly Sports Relief mile runners stopped to peer at him, he gestured to them that they should be running not gawping. What a terrific guy he is.

If only we could all be as perfect in every way as he clearly thinks he is. I agree he does a lot of good, and probably saved the monarchy at one stage and certainly - for better or worse - helped modernise it. But I do wish he'd stop treating everyone like they're an idiot. I've seen him 'correct' highly respected experts in their field, and he's been embarrassingly wrong, but on and on he goes. There's room for a bit of well-founded humility - and good manners - even in someone in his position.

I find the whole pointless it was their benefit to boost up their egos they can easily donate money to a ridicules charity without asking the public and sponsorship. Lenny Henry is a one trick dickhead. His Premier Inn adverts are off putting if he was at the same with me I would have to check out, but I would tell him what I fought about him first. I'm glad his career is declining rapidly just maybe he will sink even more like taking Chef on a tour of the U.K. and his King's Speech parody was nothing but ignorance and bad taste.

..... Do you mean especially someone in his position?

PS anyone remember rumours of an affair years ago?

Prince Philip is a top guy.
I really do think most of his 'gaffes' over the years were intentional. He is a great comedian, much funnier than George Bush Jnr.

I love the monarchy and long may they continue to serve this once great country.

No.

And the Queen and Philip popped in to a wedding in Manchester. I really do have enormous admiration for this couple; working hard in old age. I don't think we give them as much gratitude as they deserve.

he is a wonderful eccentric who thinks he is normal.

I loved the time he inspected a factory decades ago and was introduced to the union covenor and said "you would be the man who doesn't wotk then"..

and unionist replied "well you should know about that".

teams of comedy writers couldn't invent such a great character.
