Flags at the home of England’s football team, Wembley, will fly at half mast in tribute to Prince Philip, who has died at the age of 99. The same tribute will be made at St. George’s Park.
The national side tweeted ”It’s with immense sadness that we learned of HRH The Duke of Edinburgh’s death earlier today.”
The message also recalled the Prince’s presence at one of the country’s most famous sporting victories, the World Cup Win of 1966 when a beaming Duke watched The Queen present the Jules Rimet trophy to England’s captain, Bobby Moore. It said ”Prince Philip was the FA’s president between 1955 and 1957, and attended a number of #ThreeLions games – including our win over Germany in the 1966 World Cup final.
