WHY NO FLAGS FLYING AT HALF-MAST ON THE KNOLL IN TRIBUTE TO PRINCE PHILIP?

 

The Knoll this afternoon - why no flag at half-mast?

UNION flags everywhere have been flying at half-mast in mourning for Prince Philip - but not on Cleethorpes seafront.

Indeed no flags at all were flying either aloft The Knoll, which is run by ex-Services personnel, nor over the road at the Memorial Gate.  

How strange! 

These are surely  two of the places where  the Duke of Edinburgh, who had a distinguished naval career, most ought to be remembered.

Perhaps there will be some appropriate initiative before the funeral on Saturday. 

Meanwhile, elsewhere in Cleethorpes, one of the Liberal-Democratic candidates  in the forthcoming local elections was canvassing on the doorstep - despite calls for campaigning to be put on hold until tomorrow.
