There was a request for flowers not to be sent but for donations to charities to be made instead.
Cue thousands of bouquets sent to Buckingham Palace.
Philip himself reputedly requested 'no fuss' prior to his passing; unfortunately that ship has long since sailed.
The story certainly warranted headline coverage, but for every main channel to cancel their schedule in favour of four hour programmes regurgitating the same information really did seem like too much.
I thought it was overkill and just turned over to The Simpsons after a while (it would never occur to me to actually make a complaint about the level of coverage about Philip's death).
