BBC Top Gear - A Tribute To Sabine Schmitz. I believe that this special episode is on BBC iPlayer.
This channel on YouTube is only a few days old with no other videos. Not sure if the video will be taken down.

My condolances to the British people and those who held him dear. Certainly he lead a fascinating life and often spoke with refreshing lack of correctness and instead often spoke his mind. That’s a bit endearing to me, as I have always preferred direct instead of veiled, discourse .

My wife worked for the British Council in Berlin. When the royals came to visit, she was told to keep a close eye on Philip in case he wandered off to the nearest bar. It’s amazing he made it to 99.

The Duke of Edinburgh’s was a wonderful husband, great father and grandfather. He was a solid rock and soul mate for the Queen. It was not easy for a man of his era to give up a great naval career to support his wife.
I think his greatest legacy in his own right, was his founding of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme which helped so many youngsters around the world, gain self confidence and important life skills in later life. Also, he was ahead of his time for his concern for the protection of nature, conservation and wildlife and believed in moving forward with Science and Technology.

RIP HRH Prince Phillip.

One of my favourite female politicians and an inspiration to women who are interested in a career in politics a trail blazer in her tinw. A kind, decent personality and a politician with a conscience.
RIP Baroness Williams. What a legend!

This one really hit me hard, from its Dark and Hell is Hot which came out in '98, one of the realest MCs out there compared to the bubble gum shit kids are listening to these days.

RIP Earl Simmons

Oh no, Helen McCrory has passed away from cancer :cry:

She was great in so many things but I absolutely loved her in Peaky Blinders. She leaves behind her husband, the actor Damian Lewis, and two children. She was 52.

Amazing actress, her role in Peaky Blinders was amazing and her role in Penny Dreadful stole the show.

The last time I cried watching Royal funeral was Princess Diana.
Prince Phillip’s funeral service is very moving especially the Requium music for the funeral.
I blubbed when his coffin was put on the table.
I feel so sorry for the Queen. 73 years of companionship, support, love and loyalty is extraordinary in this day and age.

The choice of choral music, psalms etc are excellent and very emotional.

I am not understanding where Prince Phillip’s coffin has gone? Underneath the floor, why didn’t they carry the coffin outside the chapel?
