Andrew RT Davies, the Leader of the Welsh Conservatives in the Senedd, has led tributes to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, whose death was announced today.
In light of the sad news from Buckingham Palace, campaigning has been paused with immediate effect.
Mr Davies said:
“This is a very sad day for the United Kingdom.
"The Duke of Edinburgh led a remarkable life, distinguished himself with his career in the Royal Navy, was the strength and stay to Her Majesty The Queen, and has left a legacy to the nation through the Duke of Edinburgh Award.
“Dutiful, devoted, and diligent, his like will never be seen again, and Welsh Conservatives offer their deepest condolences to The Queen, and the rest of the Royal Family.”
