Die stadsraad en die inwoners van Dover is baie hartseer om te hoor van die dood van HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. Prins Philip is vir meer as die koningin getroud 70 years and devoted himself to a life of outstanding public service and duty. He was a good friend to Dover, besoek aan haar majesteit in 1958 en weer in 2006 vir die viering van die stigting van die hawe 400 jare terug. Tydens die besoek was hy veral gretig om te hoor van die geskiedenis en ervaring van die stad in die oorlog, asook die moderne rol as 'n belangrike internasionale reisentrum..
Ons betuig ons medelye en ons dink aan haar majesteit en die koninklike familie terwyl ons oor sy verlies treur.
The Town Council is acting in accordance with official advice concerning tributes from members of the public which is attached and explained below.
