BARROW has remembered His Royal Highness Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, after news broke of his death at the age of 99 yesterday.
Buckingham Palace announced the sad news in a statement at midday on April 9, in which it revealed Prince Phillip had ‘passed away peacefully’ at Windsor Castle.
The Duke of Edinburgh visited the borough multiple times during his lifetime.
In June 1959 he laid the keel for Dreadnought - the UK’s first nuclear submarine.
The duke also made an appearance at the Holker Flower Festival, and made competitive entries to both the Holker Horse Trials and Lowther Horse Trials and a trip across Morecambe Bay with Queen’s Guide to the Sands, Cedric Robinson.
