The nation is still in mourning after the death of Prince Philip on Friday morning, aged 99.

Tributes to the Duke of Edinburgh have poured in from across Gloucestershire, and Eastington Church will toll the tenor in remembrance of the Queen’s husband at 12 noon today.

The bells sounded the National Anthem at Gloucester Cathedral yesterday evening and a Book of Condolence has been opened on their website.

“My sincere condolences, we have lost an incredible man who’s duty to our Queen and country was beyond compare,” read a tribute in the online book posted this morning.

“I felt so emotional when I heard the news just after mid-day yesterday. There will be a giant hole in the Royal family now, my thoughts are with the Queen and the rest of her family, stand easy Prince Philip.”

Prince Philip passed away at Windsor Castle, where he had been since March 16 after undergoing heart surgery and a spending month in hospital.

Another tribute read: “Your Royal Highness, You made such a huge difference to so many young people from many backgrounds.

“Giving the next generation inspiration and confidence that they never could have imagined. Thank you for your continued service to your country, The Commonwealth and our queen. Rest in peace.”

The Bishop of Gloucester, the Right Revd Rachel Treweek, said: “It is with deep sadness that we hear the news of the Duke of Edinburgh’s death.”

“This is a huge loss to the nation and one which we will all feel deeply for a long time to come.

“We give thanks for Prince Philip, his unwavering love and support of the Queen, and for the good he has championed and enabled within our country and beyond over so many years.”

Flowers have been left at the entrance to Highgrove, near Tetbury, where Prince Charles and Camilla live, and Gloucestershire County Council is flying the Union Flag at half-mast.

Cllr. Ray Theodoulou, Chairman of Gloucestershire County Council: “On behalf of all councillors and staff, I should like to say how very sad we all are at the news of HRH Prince Philip’s death.”

Cllr Neil Gibbs, Mayor of Stonehouse Town Council, said: "On behalf of Stonehouse Town Council I wish to express my sadness at the news of Prince Philip’s death and send condolences to Her Majesty The Queen and her family. The union flag is flying at half mast, as a sign of respect. Local residents can lay flowers at the War Memorial, if they wish to do so.”
