The British National Rail service offered a bizarre tribute to Prince Philip over the weekend, stripping their website of colour and switching to greyscale as a "mark of respect":
The 'greyscale' National Rail website.
Those on social media and a leading sight charity soon pointed out the accessibility issues with the "tribute", which left partially sighted people struggling to navigate the website and book train tickets.
The National Rail website has been temporarily greyscaled as a mark of respect following the death of HRH Duke of Edinburgh. We are listening to feedback about how people are using the website and are making further changes today to make it more accessible to all our customers.— National Rail (@nationalrailenq) April 12, 2021
