《 #卸下公職 - 愛丁堡公爵菲臘親王 訪問英屬香港珍貴片段(1959)》
愛丁堡公爵菲臘親王(Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh)1921年生於希臘,乃希臘與丹麥王族後裔。1959年3月,38歲的菲臘親王曾單獨訪港三日。此片段可見時任港督柏立基爵士(Sir Robert Robin Brown Black)至皇后碼頭(Queen's Pier)迎接菲臘親王,隨即檢閱駐港英軍。翌日,港府在港督府為親王舉辦宴會,不少華人和洋人出席,冠蓋雲集,親王與賓客們言談甚歡。
訪問期間,菲臘親王主持伊利沙伯醫院(Queen Elizabeth Hospital)奠基儀式,並代表英女王頒下香港紋章(Coat of arms of Hong Kong),亦即是後來英殖香港旗的「龍獅勳章」以代替「代替阿群帶路圖」。菲臘親王封號為愛丁堡公爵,中環愛丁堡廣場(Edinburgh Place)即以他為名。
*英國白金漢宮今天宣布,英女王伊利沙伯二世之丈夫已達95歲的菲臘親王將會退休,今年秋季起不再參加公開活動。

Samuel Chan 談英國 recently hit me with a question - What was the most enjoyable part of boarding school?
In short, half-term (LOL!)
Don't get me wrong, I didn’t hate school. I absolutely loved my time at Rye St Antony School in east Oxford. There really should be no fallacies and doubts about what independent and boarding schooling can do for Hong Kong children. You really do meet great friends for life and participate in sporting and extra-curricular activities which, for me, would have been a pipe dream had I not studied in the UK. Fanciful hopes can become unforgettable memories in the blink of an eye at boarding school. Just look at what my involvement in the school's Duke Of Edinburgh Awards and art competitions did for me!
Ah, yes - half-term. I could do little but take advantage of this short break away from school to enhance my awareness of all things British. Cultural development at its most extreme. I would transport myself to other worlds: out in the sticks of rural Oxford (I love that phrase ‘out in the sticks’ - and so do the British), sitting by the River Thames along South Bank watching buskers sing or just going off to watch live bands whenever I could. Out of all these delights, the ‘Thames factor’ did it for me - views of Big Ben and Parliament, city traffic racing by and lyrics from the Kinks singing in my mind (‘as long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset I am in paradise’). It only takes a sunset of a million colours over London to make everything - living, studying and cramming for exams - all seem worthwhile.
In and around Camden Town, murals adorning the old brick buildings which housed funky coffee shops, art galleries and stores as well as the now-legendary Camden KOKO, where every musician would dream to play at. Every visit had its own charm with unpredictable events, chance meetings and the odd planned rendezvous all in waiting. Camden has it all and it was the perfect setting to gain inspiration for my songwriting- scribbling down phrases and live conversations on scrap paper; that feeling of exploding ideas at 3am in the morning happened right here, in broad daylight!
Of course, my budget was low and I still remember using my ‘Young Person’s Railcard’ and getting bargain fare prices at the oddest of hours to get down to London. Yes, my accommodation was always a tatty bed and breakfast but you soon forget these things when you study in the UK. You are just grateful to be there, to be ‘living it’. Overcooked bacon and greasy sausages don’t matter one jot! London is wonderful, not for its shopping or cuisine, but just for casually grabbing a Tesco meal deal and then fleeing off to the Tate Modern or Brick Lane to watch a live band. Heaven!
I really must stop, I can honestly write a book on my time in the UK! Come watch me play at the Cordis Hotel, Mongkok this Saturday(20Feb 12:00pm) or have a chat with Samuel if you wish to study abroad.
