RIP Prince Philip
RIP Prince Philip
Along with so many people, we extend our condolences to the Royal family on hearing of the death of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
In the coming days much will be written about him, both here and around the world and he will be remembered by countless numbers, each with their own individual stories.
The abiding memory for many, including us, will be the legacy of the Duke of Edinburgh scheme, Neil gained his award more years ago than it is polite to report and went on to become a DofE instructor and both of the junior Nethertons have awards, one of them gold.
In fact, one of our proudest parental experiences to date was seeing Maddy go to Buckingham Palace to receive her gold award.
The Duke of Edinburgh award was inspired by Dr Kurt Hahn, who had taught Prince Philip in Germany and then again at Gordonstoun, the school founded in 1934 by Dr Hahn.
