It is poignant to note that the Queen first met Prince Philip when he was at Dartmouth Royal Naval College.”

The Leader of the Independent Group, Councillor Robert Loxton, said: “I’m sorry to hear the sad news of the passing of His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. My condolences to the Royal Family.”

The Leader of Conservative Group, Councillor David Thomas, said: “Following the sad announcement of the passing of His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, The Conservative group send their sincere condolences to the Royal Family. Not only was he the Royal Consort he was also a beloved husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. He will be a great loss to not just his family, but the whole of our Country and Commonwealth’.

As a mark of respect Union flags on council buildings have been lowered to half-mast. Further information from the Palace will be posted in due course including a book of condolence.
