Premier Dennis King issued a statement remembering his contributions to education, tourism and projects. I was fortunate to cross paths with Roger both professionally and personally. As a young news reporter, I covered Roger s political career, but I knew him best as a friend and neighbour on Kayes Road in Georgetown Royalty where he owned and operated De Roma Cottages, King said.

HALIFAX – The options for Canadians planning to pay their respects to Prince Philip during his funeral Saturday will be largely limited to small gatherings in front of TV or computer screens.
Thanks to pandemic protocols, there will be no mass get-togethers – except online. But there is every indication the Duke of Edinburgh would have wanted it that way.

Robert Finch, chairman of the Monarchist League of Canada, says Philip made it clear he didn’t want a grand, state funeral. More importantly, history shows the duke was a forward-thinking man in terms of using technology to bring people together.
“He was the one who brought the monarchy into the modern age by insisting that the Queen’s coronation (in June 1953) should be broadcast on television,” Finch says. “In a way, it’s quite fitting that his life will be celebrated by again leveraging technology and having a worldwide commemoration in front of computer screens.”
