In Memoriam of HRH The Duke of Edinburgh

It is with great sadness we heard of the news of the passing of His Royal Highness Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh.  The Committee and members of the BNRA offer our deep condolences to the Royal Family and to an upholder of the proud culture, traditions and history of the Royal Navy.

The Duke had a long naval career and association with the Royal Navy, from midshipman in HMS Ramillies and HMS Valiant in 1940-1941 and later a Lieutenant in the wartime years and then Commander in the post war navy and finally  to Lord High Admiral in 2011. 

We will be issuing a longer tribute in the next edition of the BNRA Journal

Due to the global health conditions deteriorating as a result of the Covid 19 virus and the nature of the increased risk to many of our members, the committee has decided to postpone our Oxford Naval Symposium until conditions return to normal.  We are however encouraging all presenters to send in their presentations on the subject of ‘Go tell it to the Marines’. These will be collected ready for the postponed date, or released in a publication should much longer periods of confinement be needed.
