Prince Philip - Duke of Edinburgh
It is with great sadness that I learned this morning, Friday 9th April 2021, of the death of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
For anyone wishing to mark his passing, a virtual Book of Condolence, can be found on line.
This is following the request from Buckingham Palace, that no actual books should be used.
The flag of St George will be flown at half mast, from the Tower of St. Petroc's, as soon as this can be arranged, as a mark of respect.
