People leave floral tributes outside Buckingham Palace in London following the death of Prince Philip. Philip, Queen Elizabeth's husband who helped modernise the monarchy and steer the British royal family through repeated crises during seven decades of service, died on Friday (local time) at Windsor Castle. "We'd known he'd been ill for quite a long time and it's just really sad. And we're just really sorry to the royal family for their sad news." "It is a job for life," Elizabeth once said, echoing a promise she made on her 21st birthday in 1947.
