Lancaster man speaks of Queen's "love and warmth" in letter to his little boy after death of Prince Philip

A Lancaster man has spoken of the "love and warmth" shown by Queen Elizabeth II when she wrote to his little boy following the death of Prince Philip.

Joshua Brandwood and his then three-year-old son Noah sent a sympathy card to the Queen after her husband Prince Philip died in 2021.

In the letter they included a story about Noah's visit to Lancaster Police Station hoping to cheer Her Majesty up.

"A few weeks passed then one morning an envelope fell through our door stamped with the Royal Seal," said Mr Brandwood.

"We excitedly opened the envelope whilst being careful not to damage the important letter within.

"Her Majesty thanked us for our condolences and was interested to hear our uplifting account and photos of our visit to Lancaster Police Station.

"My son was over the moon and showed all his friends at nursery. We even made the national news! 

"We've now framed the letter which is placed proudly upon our living room wall.

"Her Majesty The Queen showed so much love and warmth to many, not least to my son, and for that I'll be forever grateful."
