Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh
We are very sad to hear that Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, has died. He was a fabulous Ambassador for the equine world and Fell ponies in particular, competing internationally with his Fell team and being a past President of the FPS.
We extend our deepest sympathy to H.M. The Queen. 9 April 2021
