“But to me, like many of you who have lost a loved one or grandparent over the pain of this past year, he was my grandpa…

“He has been a rock for Her Majesty The Queen with unparalleled devotion, by her side for 73 years of marriage.
“And while I could go on, I know that right now he would say to all of us, beer in hand, ‘Oh do get on with it!'”
In addition, Harry added: “So, on that note, Grandpa, thank you for your service, your dedication to Granny, and for always being yourself.
“You will be sorely missed, but always remembered – by the nation and the world.
