Prince Philip dies at age 99

[Forsher]

No, the relevant bridges near Edinburgh cross the estuary known as the Firth of Forth; there's no 'technically correct' spelling that turns the River Forth into the River Fourth - unless that was an accidental typo correcting the typo.

Here are the three Forth bridges:



I used to cross the nearest one every day to go to school, so I have some passing familiarity with the Forth bridges - even if there were only two of them in my day.


There is, however, a Firth of Fifth...

If they ever build a fourth Forth bridge they should announce that it will be called "The Fourth Bridge", while sporting a shit-eating grin.

Do a troll face sculpture depicting the Billy Goats Gruff at one of the entrances.

A man died today. An old man.
He was a soldier. A father, a grandfather and a great-grandfather. He did his job in many different ways. He was always faithful to his wife. He gave up his career for love.
He was a good man, who happened to be a Prince by birth. One doesn't choose where one is born.
The world gets poorer every time a good man dies.

[Picairn]

he was the one disrespecting a dead man.

it is a major loss to the family of Phillip , and he is disrespecting his whole life because he was a royal.

Sorry, being disrespectful to the dead isn't a rule violation here.

[Socialist States of Ludistan]

then the guy should get a warning for being disrespectfull to a dead person

"Disrespecting the dead" is not a rule violation here. Gloating over a dead person might be. If you see as much, please report it.

Would this count as gloating?

Why would she say it for no reason? It dosent make sense.

Its probably him.

And why would meagan lie? why?

She dosent have beef or anything.

As someone who is coloured, I am happy he is dead. Racist people shouldnt exist in this world

[The Doggos Free Land]

I think he did fine, sure he did some bad things, like racism, but his World War II service and national contributions overshadowed them.

Exactly.

He wasn't just a man. He was a living legend and institution who made the world a better place.

How so?

[The Doggos Free Land]

So are we gonna have a royal funeral in the Corona pandemic?
Oh boy, this ain’t gonna go well.

oh no...

[Vorausen]

I can't believe this. I'm just lost for words. I hope Queen Elizabeth is taking this news ok. Rest in Peace Prince Phillip.

[Nutbush City Limits]

Just waiting for her now...

Unfortunately, she is immortal.

When's his pedophile son gonna die of kiddie AIDS tho. He's the one that's better of dead.

He was a living god.

You're just lucky disrespecting the dead isn't an offence here.

[Istoreya]

Whether it was 'expected' or not, this is sad news.
Whether you think he 'deserves' it or not, there is now a family grieving their loss and that should not be dismissed.
My heart goes out to the Queen and the rest of the family, may the Prince rest in peace.

[Socialist States of Ludistan]

How so?

He did fight the Nazis, that’s one thing.

Technically there is a fourth Forth bridge; since 2008, there's even been a fifth Forth bridge.

And a reminder that East Fife 4 Forfar 5 finally happened (on penalties) in 2018 (and Forfar 5 East Fife 4 all the way back in 1964).

She would have been with him at his side while he was on his deathbed, so I think she would have known before this was "news"...

Yes. I wholeheartedly agree. Phillip was the Queen's companion and husband for 73 years. I can't even begin to imagine what she's going through right now.

i hope she is.

queen Elizabeth has spent 70 years with him , i wouldnt think she is...

[Comfed]

That’s sad to see.

i hope she is.

yea... poor thing.

[Australian rePublic]

FOX News pundit tries to put the boot in and blame Harry and Meghan for Phillip's death because Piers Morgan said so.

That's the most logical thing I've ever heard in my life. I mean a heavily guarded, sick 99 year old man couldn't possibly of natural causes. The only logical cause of death here is that his world-famous estranged grandson and celebrity wife secretly flew half way around the world during a global pandemic in order to kill him. It makes more sense than believing that he at the age of 99 died of natural causes
**facepalm**

Somehow someway, this is making me want to cry.

There are way too many f's here.

Have the Firth of Thames bridge instead.

[Rusozak]

And just the other day I was thinking about how he probably doesn't have much time left, being older than the oldest and longest reigning British Monarch ever. Crazy coincidence.

Supposedly the interview being aired when it did ruined his recovery and killed him. Somehow.
