[Boudica]

Rest in peace.

I'm surprised he lived that long but not surprised at the same time if that make sense. I always had the sense he was a charming decent honorable person.

The British public often heard him say some... tactless comments xD Semi-racial but usually just in jest. He was a good man at heart and served the UK in more ways than the average Joe could understand.

To be fair, his jokes were likely just that. Originally the word "racist" was reserved for hateful/nasty people, but has since been made a marketing/political tool.

Strangely, he's a much loved member of the Royal family. He's a rare breed in the public eye as he could get away with those jokes. However, he is someone who many people respect. He's sacrificed a lot, and served a lot.

A 41-gun salute by our military just finished all over the UK. There was one gun fired every minute after 12:00PM.
