Whanganui leaders and royal enthusiasts have paid tribute to Prince Philip, who died on Friday just two months shy of his 100th birthday.
Mayor Hamish McDouall said Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, played a
pivotal role in the life of the longest reigning British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II.
"He's been alongside our Queen her entire reign. He was obviously a great support to her and helped her through some difficult times. My sympathy is with the Queen and to the Royal Family."
