Today we say goodbye to a great man, HRH Prince Philip. Here at the Museum our volunteers and Trustees have been remembering him and volunteer Jon Lloyd shared this photo of himself and the Prince on the occasion of the Royal Review of the ROC at Bentley Priory on 25th July 1991. As you can see they were having a very jolly conversation.![]()
His Royal Highness has touched many lives. RIP Prince Philip and thank you for your service.![]()

The museum may be closed but there is plenty to see if you wander through our courtyard and into the car park, like these beautiful mosaic pictures created by local children. #mosaic #artonyourdoorstep #museum #museums #museumcollection #yourmuseumyourhistory #dartmoor #History #historylover #historygeek #heritage #okehampton #lovedartmoor .#localhistory #localhistorymatters #visitdevon #dartmoorlife #gallery #visitokehampton #museumsmatter #museumsofinstagram #treasure![]()
