It’s such a gentle term, “final resting place”.  Prince Philip will be lowered to his by the time you wake up tomorrow morning. His casket will be privately lowered into a vault in the church floor... after a funeral for family members at which no choirs performed. At a humble service…. a trio will perform the musical selections for the small gathering of family.

And besides...  England’s had enough music this week. The entire country was shocked by the senseless way BBC Radio 1 made the announcement of Prince Philips death. This is the national radio channel of the UK. Upon who’s microphones King George VI spoke during world war 2. Where Queen Elizabeth mourned the death of Diana.

Monday morning they’re playing some headbanger techno music… and all of a sudden a mash up for the ages…  with no warning. You’re getting your groove on cranking on the computer and buzzkill. All of a sudden it's G-d Save the Queen… and this. 

BBC Television did it a bit more gently.  The anchor is wearing black.  She looks like she’s been crying.  And now… Prince Philip goes to his final resting place.  Except its not.

When his wife the queen dies…. they’re gonna pull Philip up out of the floor… and move him to her side… to HER favorite location at Windsor castle.  As he lived his life… so too in death… Philip will take his final trip…  two steps behind his Queen
