The chief of an indigenous group in the South Pacific island of Vanuatu that venerated Prince Philip offered condolences to Britain’s royal family on Sunday and recalled meeting the late prince during a visit to England.
“The connection between the people on the Island of Tanna and the English people is very strong,” said Chief Yapa of Ikunala village, Tanna. “We are sending condolence messages to the royal family and the people of England.”
The people of Ikunala plan to hold a special ceremony on Monday to remember Philip, the husband of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth, following his death last Friday at the age of 99.
