Prince Philip: Listen to BBC Radio 1 Dance get awkwardly interrupted by the national anthem
Radio 1 Dance, a sub-station of Radio 1, was playing a pre-recorded episode of “Classic Dance Anthems with Charlie Hedges” when the music was jarringly replaced mid-song by “God Save Our Queen”.
The station then announced the news that Buckingham Palace had confirmed Prince Philip had passed away on Friday morning.
