Suffolk Constabulary’s Chief Constable, Steve Jupp, has paid tribute to His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, following the announcement by Her Majesty The Queen that he passed away at Windsor Castle this morning (Friday 9 April 2021).

Mr Jupp said: “I am deeply saddened to learn of the death of His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

“His lifetime of public duty and steadfast dedication to Her Majesty and the entire country – from his career with the Royal Navy during and after World War Two, right up until his retirement in 2017 – is an example to all of us who work in public service.

“On behalf of Suffolk Constabulary, I would like to join with our policing colleagues across the United Kingdom by extending our sincere sympathy and condolences to Her Majesty The Queen and the entire Royal Family.”
