Fields in Trust, formerly known as the National Playing Fields Association (NPFA), sent their condolences to the Royal Family and paid tribute to the Duke of Edinburgh today for his 64 years of service to the organisation.
Prince Philip played an active role in ensuring children had access to safe green spaces over the years, championing the opening of many playing fields and parks so young people didn’t have to play in the streets.
He worked in the NPFA offices on a regular basis beginning in 1948 and passed his role down to the Duke of Cambridge in 2013.
