Green Party statement on the funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh
14 April 2021
As a mark of respect the Green Party will be halting all national campaigning in the period leading up to, during and following the funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh.
This suspension will begin at 8pm Friday night and run until 8am Sunday morning.
Co-leader Jonathan Bartley said: “The Green Party will be joining in this moment of national mourning for the Duke of Edinburgh.
“It will no doubt be an immensely difficult and emotional time for the Queen and the rest of the Royal Family as they lay Prince Philip to rest. Our thoughts will be with them all.”
