"Philip died on 9 April 2021, aged 99, two months before his centennial. He was "the longest-serving royal consort in British history".

"If a cricketer, for instance, suddenly decided to go into a school and batter a lot of people to death with a cricket bat, which he could do very easily, I mean, are you going to ban cricket bats?" (in 1996, amid calls to ban firearms after the Dunblane shooting).
