World Religious leaders pay tribute to Prince Philip

World Religious leaders have been paying tribute to Prince Philip's "steadfast loyalty" and sense of duty throughout his life, BBC report. 

The Archbishop of York, the Most Reverend Stephen Cottrell, said the prince was a "remarkable man who lived a life of service". "His faith in Jesus Christ was an important part of his life and one which shaped who he was." 

Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the Archbishop of Westminster and head of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales, said he was praying for the prince, the Queen and all of the Royal Family. 

"How much we will miss Prince Philip’s presence and character, so full of life and vigour," he said. "He has been an example of steadfast loyalty and duty cheerfully given. May he rest in peace." 

Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis sent his profound condolences to the Queen and rest of the Royal Family. 

Reflecting on his time meeting Prince Philip, he said: "I enjoyed immensely my personal conversations with the Duke of Edinburgh, during which I was deeply moved by his extraordinary sense of duty. 

"A remarkable royal, working well into his 90s, he became a role model for staying active in one’s latter years and demonstrated an unwavering sense of responsibility to our country."
