Sharing a joke!

A precious historical photo and a beautiful tribute !!!!!!

Good morning Rosalyn, nice memories from the past, an interesting sign on the building selling coal. I hope you have a nice weekend keep warm. I have just been for my second armful !!

A precious document and the best way to remember Prince Philip , who looks so cheerful and happy in these lovely shots of your father's.

Have a great weekend, dear Rosa.

What a capture Rosa ~ a remarkable man who will be much missed

Ein großer Verlust für Großbritannien und den britischen Humor!

Wonderful historical records Rosa, he was a great character,
Please add them to the group

Thank you for sharing this beautiful memories of this amazing man dear Rosa...I really loved and appreciated his very fine sense of humour and the way he always calmed down his family...R.I.P. Prince Philip....

What a wonderful memento, Rosa! Prince Philip always fascinated me, I wondered how he could stand being so invisible - or barely visible. Maybe it suited him, I don't know. He seemed much more jolly than the Queen, or Charles, for that matter!. I think he was universally loved.

He definitely was never invisible Diane ;-))

Schitterende opnames ,Rosa.
Uitstekend in beeld gebracht door jouw vader.
Er werd altijd verteld ,dat Prince Philip altijd 3mtr. achter de koningin moest lopen.

Hartelijke groeten, Frans.

Excellent! Even his more risqué or downright rude comments were laced with humour and you couldn't remain appalled for long!

A wonderful record of this great man taken by your father. A good memory for your family to keep and pass down the generations.

Beautiful memory and tribute to this great and humorous man!

Was your father a professional photographer, or why did he get so close?

Thank you Dida. My father took wedding photographs and portraits, but it wasn't his main job. For this picture he was behind the barrier but Prince Philip came over. He chatted to many in the crowds.

Ah - thanks for the information!

Un bel hommage et de précieux documents souvenir !+++++++++++++++

Rosa, tuviste el aplomo británico para conservar este histórico documento y poderlo compartir, a la sazón, en el día más oportuno, como recuerdo y homenaje al Principe Felipe. Conecta mental y sentimentalmente con tu padre y le verás pletórico de orgullo con su hija porque compartiste sus fotos con tus amigos de Ipernity, que las reciben con aplausos.
El Principe y el bobby hacen una pareja muy simpática, al menos, tu padre les captó en el momento oportuno. Excepcionalmente parece que el público está más pendiente del Principe que de la propia Reina, a pesar de su vestimenta llamativa por su color rojo.

Thank you for your kind words Jose Manuel.
Sunday greetings.

A nice hommage for this great Man, Rosa !

Das tut mir leid, Rosalyn. Er war ein bemerkenswerter Mann!

What lovely photos and memories Rosa. Prince Phillip was well known for always taking the trouble to chat with the "ordinary" people rather than the big-wigs. When he used to visit Royal Navy ships and Establishments, it was not unusual for him to be found sneaking off for a beer with the crew rather than the officers. I suspect he always enjoyed the chance for a break from the formality of his position. I wish I'd met him!

I had not idea your father was a photographer (why would I)? I'm guessing that influenced your decision to take up photography as a hobby.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend and have a good week.

I am pleased but not surprised at what you say Keith. There was a special place in his heart for the Royal Navy of course.

I used to love watching my father develop his photos Keith. He was wedding photographer at most of the weddings where we lived, but his main job was as a glove factory manager.

Sunday greetings....another nice sunny day :)

Lovely happy relaxed looking photographs. Great mementos to have.

LOVELY MEMORY

TS A SAD DAY THE DEATH OF THE DUKE. I LIVED AND WORKED ON THE SANDRINGHAM ESTATE. I HAVE STRONG MEMORIES IF HIM ... OF ENCOUNTERS WITH HIM DRIVING THE CARRIAGE HORSES HE SO LOVED ALONG THE SANDRINGHAM WOODLANDS. AND ALSO OF BEING A MINOR GROOM OF THOSE HANOVARIAN HORSES AND BEING UNCEREMONIOUSLY DUMPED BY ONE ONE DAY WHEN EXERCISING. THE DUKE WAS BLUNT AND OFTEN DIFFICULT SOUL. THAT SAID.. HE GAVE UP HIS LIFE TO SUPPORT HIS PRINCESS. THE QUEEN

Thank you Pam.

I visited the Sandringham Estate in 2018 and loved it! What lovely memories you have of your time there. A very sad day, especially for The Queen after 73 years of marriage and support.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR VERY KIND AND THOUGHFUL COMMENTS.
VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.
SUNDAY GREETINGS,
Rosalyn.

Great historical images, both as memories of Prince Philip and of your father's photographic work, Rosa.

Thank you for your kind comments George. Their importance is often not realised at the time of taking, but I am so pleased to have them in my possession.

historische plaat Rosa
zo'n regenjas heb ik ook.....:-))
Mooie dag verder--fijn dat je vader bruidsfotograaf was-een kennis van mij die in 2019 is overleden was dat ook

I think the Duke wore it a lot Fred :-)
Thank you for your kind comment.

Hi Rosa,
A very nice and special memory for you.
The Duke was a credit to the nation (unlike some of his descendants), and a wonderful husband to the Queen. We will all sadly miss him.

Best wishes
Peter

Hi Peter,
Often in trouble, but that usually made me laugh.
Yes, the Queen will miss him terribly.
Best wishes,
Rosa.

A beautiful memory. Prince Philip was a very likeable man. A great loss for the United Kingdom!

Thank you for your kind comments Rainer.
Yes he will be missed by many.

Un superbe hommage !
Bonne semaine. Amitiés

Rosa.
