On Saturday 17 April, a one-minute silence was held on Huntingdon Market Square to mark the passing of HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

Louis R., a student from Witchford Village College and Duke of Edinburgh Award recipient was invited to join Huntingdon mayor, Cllr Karl Webb, chairman of Cambridgeshire County Council, Cllr Mac McGuire and three other Duke of Edinburgh recipients from schools in Cambridgeshire who all stood and honoured the passing.

They were joined by members of the public who all stood in socially distanced silence next to All Saints Church.

The bells at St Mary’s Church, in Huntingdon tolled 99 times to mark each year of the Duke’s life.
