Sad news. 99 was a good age however. But I feel sorry for the Queen and family.

So very sad. Such a shame he did not reach his 100th birthday.

I am pleased he managed to spend his last few weeks at home in Windsor.

It will be devastating for the Queen,she has loved him since she was a young girl. He meant the world to her.
