Poignant memories are continuing to be shared as the Great Yarmouth borough joins the nation in mourning the death of Prince Philip.
Remembering The Duke of Edinburgh, the Union Flag and Borough Flag are both flying at half-mast until 8am the day after the funeral, as a mark of respect.
A borough council spokesman said: In order to support public safety during coronavirus, there will not be a physical book of condolence at the Town Hall or other civic venues.
He was among the frist group of students to take A levels there.

Arthur went straight from school to do national service with the RAF and was offered pilot training but declined in favour of enrolling at Loughborough University, where he studied P.E. and Maths.
Before leaving school, he played for local football clubs - Lowestoft, Gorleston and Great Yarmouth.
He also took part in several games as an amateur for Arsenal, playing at Highbury Stadium, but never signed up as a professional.
