There's no tragedy in life like the death of a child. Things never get back to the way they were.

In the months since the death of my beloved Philip, I have drawn great comfort from the warmth and affection of the many tributes to his life and work - from around the country, the Commonwealth, and the world. His sense of service, intellectual curiosity and capacity to squeeze fun out of any situation - were all irrepressible. That mischievous, enquiring twinkle was as bright at the end as when I first set eyes on him.

Grief is the price we pay for love.

I am in deep shock. I have lost a beloved friend [George Michael] - the kindest, most generous soul and a brilliant artist. My heart goes out to his family and all of his fans.

Art keeps me alive. I've obviously been devastated or heartbroken all my life, since my mother's death.

He [Prince] changed the world!!A true visionary. What a loss.I'm devastated.
