The HMS Ardent Association want to extend our deepest sympathy to Her Majesty the Queen on the passing of His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
Prince Philip joined the Royal Navy in 1939, participated in the battles of Cape Matapan and Crete and the invasion of Sicily. He was present in Tokyo Bay for the Japanese surrender. After giving up a career in the Royal Navy, Prince Philip went on to dedicate most of his adult life to serving at the Queen’s side.
“The duke was “a fine seaman” and his sense of duty “was paramount”.”
