A poignant day. The House had been called back early in order for MPs to pay tribute to HRH, the Duke of Edinburgh. I had put in to speak was delighted to find myself No 71 on the list. With the debate running to 2200, I knew I would definitely be called. I had prepared by speech on Sunday, only a stone's throw from the, the same sea that the Prince had served on with such distinction in the Royal Navy. My speech in full is on the website. Away from the Commons, the Dukes of Cambridge and Sussex paid tribute to their grandfather, the Duke of Edinburgh. In separate statements, Prince William described him as an "extraordinary man", while Prince Harry said he was "a man of service, honour and great humour" and the "legend of banter". "I will miss my Grandpa, but I know he would want us to get on with the job," Prince William added. Prince Philip died at Windsor Castle on Friday aged 99. We shall miss him enormously. Meanwhile, the roadmap out of this Orwellian lock-down continued in the right direction, with pub gardens, shops and hairdressers re-opening in England for the first time in months. Shoppers flocked to the High Street, with long queues seen outside some retailers. Other people took advantage of England's gyms and zoos reopening. Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged everyone to "behave responsibly". Northern Ireland's "stay-at-home" order is ending and some rules are being eased in Scotland and Wales.
