Andy Sloan meeting Prince Philip After the sad news of the death of the Duke of Edinburgh on Friday, we asked you to get in touch with your memories of seeing him. Prince Philip carried out countless engagements in Dorset over the years, his most recent being the unveiling of a statue of the Queen Mother in Poundbury alongside the Queen in 2016. He also visited the area in 2009 when he did a walkabout on Weymouth beach with the Queen. Andy Sloan of Weymouth met Prince Philip on this occasion. He said: It was an honour to have met this legend. He made me laugh pretty hard. There was a group of women playing volleyball 50 metres behind me and he leaned in with a naughty smile and said I bet you wish you were over there’.

Two statues in London and Whitby - his hometown, two museums and a pub are among 125 landmarks and tributes that activists want renamed or removed.
The list follows similar moves in Australia, where in Sydney, for example, a bronze statue of Captain Cook that dates back to 1879 was defaced during Black Lives Matter protests in June.
