On behalf of the members of The Pioneers Association of South Australia, we acknowledge the sadness felt by many at the recent death of HRH the Duke of Edinburgh. We celebrate his life, much of which was lived in the public spotlight. But foremost he was a loyal life partner to his wife Queen Elizabeth, father to their four children, and a grandfather and great grandfather to many. He also gave generously of his time to many causes in the United Kingdom, throughout the Commonwealth and in Australia and South Australia. His life was well lived. Vale.
Our Patron, the Governor of South Australia, Hieu Van Le, AC, shared the following.
A statement from His Excellency the Governor upon the passing of His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh
"It is with great sadness that I have learned of the death of His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh.
Throughout his long life Prince Philip set an outstanding example of public service and dedication, leavened by a larrikin spirit which endeared him to many.
His charity work, especially the Duke of Edinburgh awards established in 1956, have directly benefitted many young Australians.
His Royal Highness’s support for Her Majesty the Queen in her role as sovereign was unstinting throughout a life lived together, from their courtship to his death, in the public eye.
I know I speak for many in extending my deepest sympathy to Her Majesty and all members of the Royal family and will be writing to Her Majesty to express our condolences.
Condolence books will be available at Government House for signature by members of the public from 9am, Saturday 10 April 2021."
