It was with great sadness that we learnt today of the death of His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle. 

The RPS President, Simon Hill HonFRPS, has written to Her Majesty The Queen on behalf of the Royal Photographic Society:
