The 91-year-old was given a full tour of the building, taking a keen interest in the facility and its potential future use.
His visit to the campus, in Devon, coincided with his award of an honorary doctorate by the university, becoming what is believed to be the oldest royal in British history to be bestowed with such an honour.

“Technically speaking, the Duke of Edinburgh is the highest ranking Freemason in the country; Freemasonry being a business which is actually a pyramid-marketing suicide cult which via a series of scripted lines delivered over time attempts to generate an image of the 'High Priestess' in the sub-conscious imagination, or homunculus, of its members, which is 'secretly' addressed in conversation by saying one thing to mean another, and upon translation via a language-matrix recalled in a state of nervous breakdown in alliterated rhymed verse or mime in mimic, in order to coerce, control and subjugate, and to attempt to annihilate any who would raise objection to their lies and lines.
Grandmaster; in times of years gone-by a man in your position may have ordered 'the art' when an objector addressed your position imperfectly in title; in such, does Grand Master befit you most as merely a title given twice to show respect to neither the position nor the man.
Addressing the United Grand Lodge of England in full direction and intent; Grandmaster, Freemasonry, I have merely tolerated your presence all these years as their was a question in my mind which remained unanswered; I discovered the only answer you gave was that which would ensure an end to my life and my line; I set Freemasonry a quest in lieu, in order that recompense be made in wisdom resurrection: Freemasonry failed to act to remove 'Church of Scientology', a pyramid-marketing suicide cult run as a business, which has been proven to be involved in intimidation, harassment, assault, bullying, nepotism, conspiracy, psychological torture, and assisted suicide if not plain murder by mordor.
In the end, in a realm which encompasses every Adam, Eve, Eden, upon translating the speech of your highest honorary member in your own language, we can see how "I'm delighted to have this" is mirrorly in Sun a reminder of the words spoken by the first, "My biggest mistake was joining Freemasonry in the first place", or merely in Moon as, "The Thelemic and Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn".
Will you reel back 'm-y' lines now, upon your resignation, or merely upon my own passing.
