Over a period of 40 minutes, cannons fired 41 gun salutes across the UK in honor of Print Philip, who died on Friday.

Hundreds of black taxis formed a mourning column in front of Buckingham Palace.

The British cavalry saluted at Windsor Castle.

And the bells of Westminster Abbey struck 99 times - once for every year of Prince Philip's life.

Mourning ceremonies were held throughout the British Commonwealth, including Australia.

The British paid homage to Queen Elizabeth II's husband, especially with countless flowers.

But also with a glass of red wine.

And always in her very own British way.

Mourners:

“We have lost a great man.

He gave so much, that's why he deserves this honor.

He actually deserves a lot more honor.

I can't say how much I appreciate him for what he gave the world. "


Boris Johnson, Prime Minister of Great Britain


"Prince Philip has enjoyed the affection of generations here in the UK, throughout the Commonwealth and around the world."

Joe Biden, US President


"On the loss of Prince Philip: He was a devil."

Mourners:

“I think he was a fantastic person.

He had an incredibly strong personality.

He was a representative of his generation.

He was very stoic, never complained, had a lot of guts. "


“I think the royal family has had a rather tumultuous time recently.

He was sure to be a rock for the Queen.

That's why sadness just predominates. "

"I think he was an inspiration for generations."

The death of Prince Philip welds the British together.

Also against those who want to spread unfounded conspiracy theories on the occasion of his death.

Man who spreads conspiracy theories:

"... to inject the population with untested, potentially dangerous vaccines!"


Interjection:

"Shut up, you moron!"


Man who spreads conspiracy theories:

“Prince Philip was forced into a marketing campaign for the pharmaceutical industry and had to get a vaccine just three months ago.

We need an autopsy on Prince Philip to find out if he died from the vaccine! "


(Boos)

The death of Prince Philip is a moment of grief for the British.

But also a moment of identity.
