Imperial remembers Duke of Edinburgh
Buckingham Palace has announced the death of the Duke of Edinburgh aged 99. The Duke was made an honorary Doctor of Science by Imperial in 2007.
The Duke passed away after a short period of illness. The Duke is the longest-serving consort of a reigning monarch and has been by The Queen’s side since their marriage in 1947.
The Duke was one of the first people to be awarded a degree from Imperial when the College attained independence from the University of London on its centenary in 2007.
The Duke was made an Honorary Doctor of Science in recognition of his wide-ranging initiatives for young people as well as his outstanding support for scientific and technological research.
