Sign the official Book of Condolence for Prince Philip

Evesham Editorial 10th Apr, 2021   0

On Friday Buckingham Palace announced the death of the Duke of Edinburgh after a short illness and members of the public are being asked to sign the official Book of Condolence if they wish to express their condolences. This is available on the Royal Family Website.

A notice informing the public of the death of the Duke of Edinburgh was placed on the gates of Buckingham Palace. It read:

“It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle.”

At the express request of HRH Duke of Edinburgh, and in line with current COVID restrictions, there will be no official ceremonial events during this period.




Although this is an extraordinarily difficult time for many, the public are being asked to not to gather at Royal Residences, and to continue to follow public health advice particularly on avoiding meeting in large groups and on minimising travel.

The Government are supporting the Royal Household in asking that floral tributes should not be laid at Hillsborough Castle at this time. The Royal Family have also asked that members of the public consider making a donation to a charity instead of leaving floral tributes in memory of The Duke of Edinburgh.


An online Book of Condolence is now available should members of the public wish to express their condolences. This is available on the Royal Family Website here.

Further details of the funeral will be announced by Buckingham Palace in due course.
