Norfolk Police ask us not to go to Sandringham
We can instead pay respects to Prince Philip online
Norfolk Police are asking mourners not to gather at Sandringham Estate.
It follows the death of Prince Philip at the age of 99 yesterday (9 April).
Officers are supporting the Royal Household in the move, in light of the continued covid-19 public health rules.
In a statement, a spokesman for the Force said:
"Following the sad news of the death of His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, we understand members of the public will wish to pay their respects.
"Norfolk, through the Royal Estate at Sandringham, has a close bond with royal tradition and history.
"However, in light of the continued COVID-19 public health rules and guidance, we are supporting the Royal Household in asking members of the public not to gather at Royal Residences.
"We would urge people to pay their respects through official online books of condolence and continue to follow the public health advice, particularly on avoiding meeting in large groups and minimising travel."
