Prince Charles has said his father, the Duke of Edinburgh, would have been amazed by. the touching things that have been said about him.
He was speaking from Highgrove House, the day after Prince Philip died, aged 99, at Windsor Castle.
Earlier, royal gun salutes across the UK and at sea marked the duke s death.
There will be eight days of national mourning ahead of the televised funeral, which will be a ceremonial event rather than a large state affair usually associated with the death of a monarch.
A spokesman for the Palace said: Whilst this is a time of sadness and mourning the coming days will be an opportunity to celebrate a remarkable life.
In the Tarkwa Nsuaem Municipality is a giant sleeping industry, Bonsa Tyre Company Limited (BTCL), once vibrant but sadly non-functional for a number of decades.
With well-known brands of rubber products, from various sizes of tyres to tubes, the factory, in the 1990s saw heavy investment for refurbishment to bring it back to life, but that did not work and new equipment have been left to rot.
The tyre factory has now been taken over by weeds and has become a den of reptiles.
Firestone’s withdrawal
The BTCL, which was established in 1963 as part of the import substitution programme, was to produce vehicle tyres for the local automobile assembling industry and the mines.
