It’s just over a week since Coronation Day and the Flag’s flying high over Stormont once more. It seems that to prevent the error of flying the Flag upside down, it wasn’t being flown at all at Dundonald House—until I pointed out the lack of Union Flag.

The reason for the flying is, of course, the anniversary of the birth of His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, Earl of Merioneth, Baron Greenwich, KG, KT, GBE, OM, AC, QSO, GCL, CD, PC, ADC, RSerafO, GCTE. His Royal Highness is the husband of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, and is worshipped as a god by some villages in Vanuatu.
