Political leaders from across Cambridgeshire have paid tribute to the Duke of Edinburgh, who has died aged 99.
Buckingham Palace announced on Friday (April 9) that His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, husband of Queen Elizabeth II, passed away peacefully at Windsor Castle.
Cambridge MP Daniel Zeichner said: “The Duke of Edinburgh has been a fixture in all of our lives for as long as we can remember and his passing is a sad day.
“He was sometimes a controversial figure but he was a colossal support to the Queen, and the country will rightly be in mourning.”
