LA VALLETTA: Maltese citizens and members of the British Royal Navy paid tribute to Prince Philip on the day of his funeral with a cannon salute.
Flowers and pictures were laid outside the former residence where the Queen and Prince Philip stayed during the first years of their marriage between 1949 to 1951, where they lived a relatively simple life.
"I think it's about the most normal life that the Queen had while they lived here. I mean, she drove her own car, she went to the grocer's shop shopping on her own," stated Elaine Zerafa who is the Secretary of the Royal Navy association in Malta.
