The Bailiff of Guernsey has reflected fondly on visits to the Bailiwick by His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, following his death at the age of 99.
Tributes have been paid across the islands to Prince Philip who passed away at Windsor Castle on Friday 9 April.
“I was saddened to learn of the death of His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke
of Edinburgh. In Guernsey, many will recall the six visits that the island was honoured to receive
from His Royal Highness (accompanying Her Majesty The Queen). His first visit was in 1949 when the new Princess Elizabeth Hospital was opened. He
returned with Her Majesty in 1957. They returned in 1978 and 1989 on H.M. Yacht
Britannia. They came again in 2001 and for the last time in 2005 for the 60th
anniversary of the Liberation. On several of those occasions they also visited
Alderney and Sark.
