Happy birthday to Prince Philip!

Fiona Bruce interviewed him last night for the BBC - and he couldn't resist his little jibe, as she was asking him about giving up his career in the Navy, that a profession was something she wouldn't know about!!!

I was sent to do an interview with the D of E (as he's known in our house, since many of my children have been busy at various stages on the D of E award scheme) about 25 years ago. He was gloriously irascible then, and he hasn't changed a bit. Many of his answers to my questions were totally unusable - just because they were so politically incorrect! I ended up with a nice interview (which I think is on YouTube nowadays) but frankly most of it ended up on the cutting room floor.

I rather liked Mac's cartoon this morning in the Daily Mail. God Bless the Duke on his ninetieth birthday He may not like us journalists and reporters very much but he has always made great headlines, photos, cartoons and commentary. May he make many more!
