Well over a thousand people rallied in Sydney on Saturday to protest against Indigenous Australian deaths in police custody on the 30th Anniversary of the 1991 Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody (RCIADIC).
According to
Junkee‘s social justice reporter, Millie Roberts, there were well over 1000 people at Sydney’s protest. Police at the event estimated around 1250.
One of the Aboriginal dancers who Prince Philip infamously asked if indigenous Australians still throws spears at each other says the comment was not racist and he had deep respect for the royal.
The Queen s husband died at Windsor Castle on Friday aged 99 after a long illness, with his death confirmed by Buckingham Palace at 9pm AEST.
Warren Clements, an Aboriginal performer who greeted royal couple at an event in Far North Queensland in 2002, said the dancers went off-script to try to impress them, and were honoured by their greeting. We had royal fever so we said: Let s go out the back and throw some boomerangs and spears and hopefully we ll get a glimpse of them as they come down. They waved and we were showing off, Mr Clements told the ABC.

Prince Philip, renowned for speaking his mind, was well known for his wit, sharp tongue and memorable one-liners.

Even when he announced he would retire from public life, at 96, he did so with a trademark quip.
At a reception with Prince Philip, also known as the Duke of Edinburgh, and his wife the Queen, a guest said he was sorry to hear the duke was standing down.
