Wow, you got the jump on this. I don't even see it reported on the BBC site yet.

I saw it on the Daily Mail and thought they were wrong because no one else had it but then I saw that NBC did so I went with it.

I am very sorry to hear this but 100 is a long life.

Wonder if BBC is waiting for a confirmation from the Palace. But it's the middle of the day there...

And yes, he did live a long life.

CNN is now reporting it as well. I mean, if CNN says it, it's got to the be true, right?

I learned what a tough childhood he had after watching The Crown, despite his suffering at times he dedicated his life - - to a life of service. May he rest in peace.

Married to Queen Elizabeth for 73 years.

He was a tough old bird. Decorated naval officer during WWII. Once said of himself that he was the the world's most preeminent plaque revealer (he unveiled thousands of plagues during his official duties).

Married 73 years .... Queen Elizabeth has lost “ her rock”.
Prayers for the family and the UK.
