Queen Elizabeth is said to have marked the first anniversary of her husband’s death privately at Windsor Castle.
The poem was originally published on the day of the duke’s funeral last year and pays tribute to his distinguished career in the Royal Navy.
It reads: “On such an occasion to presume to eulogize one man is to pipe up for a whole generation – that crew whose survival was always the stuff of minor miracle, who came ashore in orange-crate coracles, fought ingenious wars, finagled triumphs at sea with flaming decoy boats, and side-stepped torpedoes.”
Philip’s generation is described in the poem as “husbands to duty,” “great-grandfathers from birth” and “last of the great avuncular magicians.” Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall also paid tribute to the duke on social media with some family photos. A post on the Clarence House Twitter page read: “Remembering The Duke of Edinburgh today, one year after his passing.”Article content
