The Telegraph places a large photo of Philip and son Prince Charles on the cover, accompanied by the first reaction that the British heir apparent gave on Saturday. “My dear daddy was a very special person … I will miss him enormously,” the newspaper headlines.

The Daily Mail shares the same quote on the front page. The magazine does, however, opt for a photo of Countess Sophie, the wife of Philip’s youngest child Prince Edward, who visited Elizabeth at Windsor Castle on Saturday. The Times and The Express also give the words of the grieving Charles a prominent place on their front pages.
