He said: "It's been a bit of a shock. However much one tries to prepare oneself for this it's still a dreadful shock and we're still trying to come to terms with that."
The Earl of Wessex went on: "And it's very, very sad. But I have to say that the extraordinary tributes and the memories that everybody has been able to share have been so fantastic.
"It just goes to show, he might have been our father, grandfather, father-in-law but he meant so much to so many other people."

In another conversation, the Countess of Wessex opened up about the late Duke of Edinburgh's passing, revealing that it was very peaceful.
Speaking to one member of the congregation, Sophie said: "It was right for him. It was so gentle. It was just like somebody took him by the hand and off he went."
She went on: "Very, very peaceful and that’s all you want for somebody isn’t it? So, I think it’s so much easier for the person that goes than the people that are left behind."
