The Very Rev Michael Keirle says His Royal Highness The Prince Philip will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved him most , but he will be missed by a grateful nation as well. It is really hard to imagine a world without His Royal Highness Prince Philip in it. He has been such a part of the fabric of our lives for so long and indeed the fabric of the whole nation. It is very difficult to picture him not being with us. The Duke of Edinburgh Award is one of the great legacy s he will leave behind. I think he inspired many people, my own children included. I was also a recipient of the award as were they but of course that has enabled young people through many generations, across 65 years, since it s being running, to engage and work on the various aspects of the award that I think makes people well rounded.
