Flowers
During this time the Royal Family ask that members of the public consider making a donation to a charity instead of
leaving floral tributes in memory of The Duke of Edinburgh.
There is no official arrangement for giving donations in memory of The Duke of Edinburgh.
However members of the public who wish to make a donation as a tribute to His Royal Highness are encouraged to give to
a charity of their choosing or one of the charities or organisations which The Duke of Edinburgh supported in his public duties.
Over the course of his life, The Duke of Edinburgh was patron or president of some 992 organisations, with special interests in
scientific and technological research and development, industry, the welfare of young people, conservation and the environment
and the encouragement of sport.
