Prince Philip: The Patriarchs - An Elegy

Poet laureate Simon Armitage has written an elegy for Prince Philip, entitled The Patriarchs - An Elegy.

It starts with the snow on the day Prince Philip died, the "unseasonal singular flakes", and notes that to "eulogise one man is to pipe up for a whole generation".
