"Earlier this week I paid tribute to His Royal Highness The Prince Philip.
Prince Philip’s was a life marked not just by his own achievements, but by the impact he had on so many others. Throughout his life, he exhibited the qualities of loyalty, duty and service that are together so unique and rare to be found in one person.
On behalf of the people of Dartmouth, Totnes, Kingsbridge, Brixham, Paignton, Salcombe and South Devon I would like to send our deepest condolences to Her Majesty the Queen and the Royal Family, and we express our thanks for the remarkable life and service of this extraordinary man."
