My dear SCNC UK family it is with melancholy and disillusionment that I come to you at this difficult moment coupled with a very heavy heart to announce the passing to glory of HRH Prince Philip the Duke of Edinburgh who passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle.
HRH Queen Elizabeth announces to the people of the United Kingdom and the world at large the demise of her beloved husband Prince Philip to whom they have been married for 73 years.
Prince Philip passed away this morning at the age of 99+ and two months away from his 100th birthday.
He served the crown with selfless devotion and integrity and was the man of the people.
He epitomised the British spirit of always helping those in need and caring for the environment.
He was the image of the Royal family through his humanity, eccentricity and selflessness.
His passion for nature made the world a more harmonious place to live in.
He was a devoted husband and a father of 4 who made the Queen a microcosm of a macrocosm with regard to her exceptional skills in leadership.
Today Prince Philip has succumbed to the call of nature and he is no more as we will look back in amazement and pride for all he has done for the United Kingdom and the entire world.
On behalf of SCNC UK and the people from the former British Southern Cameroons we offer our deepest condolences to the Queen, the Royal family and the people of the United Kingdom on this very sad news.
May his legacy live for ever and may his departed soul find solace in the bosom of the Lord. Adieu great one till we come to meet again.
