SIR – Although a republican, I shall miss the Duke of Edinburgh. He was an example to the rest of us and an impossible act to follow.
The Queen deserves our sympathy for her loss, and gratitude for her unique double act with the Duke on the world stage for nearly 70 years.
Dominic Shelmerdine
SIR – How very sad that the Duke of Edinburgh should have died so close to his 100th birthday.
Having twice been president of the MCC, it would have been so nice if he had managed just one more single to get to a very well-deserved ton.
