En mémoire - SAR le duc d'Édimbourg

Le conseil municipal et les habitants de Douvres sont profondément attristés d'apprendre le décès de SAR le duc d'Édimbourg. Le prince Philip était marié à la reine depuis plus 70 years and devoted himself to a life of outstanding public service and duty. He was a good friend to Dover, en visite avec Sa Majesté à 1958 et encore dans 2006 pour les célébrations de la fondation du port 400 il y a des années. Au cours de cette visite, il était particulièrement désireux d’entendre parler de l’histoire et de l’expérience de la ville pendant la guerre, ainsi que de son rôle moderne en tant que plaque tournante du voyage international..

Nous envoyons nos condoléances et nos pensées vont à Sa Majesté et à la famille royale alors que nous pleurons sa perte.

The Town Council is acting in accordance with official advice concerning tributes from members of the public which is attached and explained below.
