Utter shame he never got to raise his bat for the century. Still a cracking partnership with the Queen to steady the innings in times of turmoil and change for the nation. He will be missed

He was born in Corfu (bet he loved a night out down the strip in Kavos) to a Greek Prince Dad and his grandad was the King of Greece.

Yeah, his Grandfather was Danish, then made King of Greece, so I suppose not from a long line of gyros merchants, but still Greek, I reckon.

Shame he didn't get to his century. A lovely knock. He did look increasing uncomfortable against the new ball later on in his innings having joined his cousin with a flourish when they were on 13.
