Several Ely school children were privileged to meet and talk to the Duke.
HRH was also happy to meet with a few local well-wishers who were of course happy to meet the Prince.
A maple tree was planted to commemorate the special event.
The Duke also unveiled a carved commemorative stone - a tonne of Cumbrian green slate - which had been inscribed by Sutton calligrapher Tom Perkins.
Lord-Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire, Julie Spence, said: I would like to convey to Her Majesty The Queen, the deep sympathy felt by the whole of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough on hearing the sad news of the death of HRH Prince Philip The Duke of Edinburgh.
Pandemic Geography: What s Going on in Michigan?
Public health experts may speculate about whether the U.S. is headed for a fourth surge or moderate increase in cases, but the resurgence is well underway in Michigan where the virus was spreading the fastest. Only N.Y. has more daily infections. April 4, 2021, 5am PDT | Irvin Dawid Share
Global coronavirus infections are rising rapidly, 23% in the last two weeks, according to The New York Times database on April 3.

Bedrock, whose mission is to accelerate our understanding of the ocean, has raised a US$8M seed round from Eniac Ventures, Primary Venture Partners, Quiet Capital and R7. The new funding will help Bedrock to scale their robotics and cloud software to map the ocean floor in a way that aims to remove the inefficiencies of people & ship-centric acquisition operations. Their goal is to ultimately provide centralized access to the first complete map and database of our oceans at the highest possible resolution.
“For over three years, we explored ocean tech as a category of interest. We believe that it is a deeply underinvested sector and that it is ripe for opportunity, given the vast amount of data. When we met Anthony DiMare and Charles Chiau, we knew that we had found the right team. They bridge a necessary technology gap in a way that the industry desperately needs. We are excited to partner with Bedrock to build the category-defining company in ocean mapping and
Although a global pandemic and a massive economic crisis have dominated our lives, many other issues remain under the surface waiting to be addressed yet again.
One of those is the high levels of PFAS and the related “forever chemicals” that have been found in Michigan residents’ water and household items.
One local environmental reporter who has been following the problem of PFAS contamination was curious about how much of the chemical could be lying around his home in common household items like aluminum foil, nonstick pans, rugs and winter boots.
Perkins says, “I started looking around and seeing all these different products that they’re (PFAS) sometimes used in and after awhile it as like, man, am I just being poisoned by a steady drip of these chemicals in my everyday life?”
“PFAS in the House” was produced by Great Lakes Now/Detroit Public TV, in partnership with Type Investigations. After spending several months reporting on
