Members of the Royal family will bid their final farewells to the Duke of Edinburgh this weekend, who passed away aged 99. We asked readers and members of our Local Bygones Facebook group to share any memories they had of Prince Philip during any of his visits to the region over the years. Alan Goldsmith, from Connah s Quay, shared some photos of the Duke from when he opened the new Freeman Chemicals Technical Centre (later DSM) in 1981, which was located in Parkway on Deeside Industrial Park on the site of the current BP Petrol Station. The Technical Centre housed the research and development and technical service departments for the main Polyester Resin manufacturing facility in Ellesmere Port.
