SIR – The Duke of Edinburgh, a man of private faith, also used his role to bring together different faith groups. He founded St George’s House in 1966 as a forum for civil society, faith groups and others to debate significant issues.
For many years he presented the Templeton Prize, which recognised outstanding religious and spiritual leadership. He organised an interfaith dialogue between Jews, Christians, and Muslims in 1984, together with Sir Evelyn de Rothschild and Crown Prince El Hassan of Jordan.
He built on this by founding the Alliance of Religions and Conservation in 1995 to mobilise the great faiths to work on environmental challenges. He had the foresight to see that their moral teachings, and 80 per cent of the world’s population, could be part of the solution to social problems.
SHE was devastated when her father died in hospital five months after being admitted with Covid-19. But the grief felt by Joanne Drewery turned to anger after she was told that two rings belonging to Southampton delivery driver Martyn Dear had gone missing. Staff at University Hospital Southampton are still searching for the rings - a month after he died. Earlier this year Joanne embarked on a quest to help Covid patients at the hospital by buying iPads for those unable to take part in video calls. She raised £3,774 and used the money to buy a large number of items, including iPads and fans for patients, plus tea, coffee and chocolates for NHS staff.
