A tribe living on a remote South Pacific Island who believe Prince Philip is their god and the incarnation of a volcano spirit have offered their condolences to the Royal Family in a video message.
The Yaohnanen tribesmen and women on the Vanuatu island of Tanna are devastated with his death and have started a ritualistic mourning process that could last for weeks.
The islanders were asleep when the Duke of Edinburgh's death was announced to the world on Friday night and were up early to harvest yams the following morning.
They were not aware of the tragic news until a woman from a nearby resort told them when they returned from their work on Saturday afternoon.
The tribe's sorrow was immediately evident as women burst into tears and heartbroken men fell silent as they tried to comfort their children.
Village chief Yapa said, holding a photo showing the tribesmen meeting the late Royal: 'In 2007 we were taken to England. The connection between the people on the Island of Tanna and the English people is very strong. We are sending condolence messages to the Royal Family and the people of England.'

I honestly expected the Babylon Bee to be source.
They may be right.
Yeah, if he was keeping the volcanos down, we’re in for a bumpy ride.
;)
We could send them AOC to throw into their volcano and rekindle the spirits.
They have more class than Meghan.
The Daily Fail is pretty much a parody site, too.
Sorry....it needs to be a virgin.....
Hmmm, my own tribe. I should start boating around the South Pacific more. What could go wrong?
Weird. They need a good missionary to give them the gospel.
Wee Willy Gates seems to think he is a god, so maybe he should move there, cut all ties to EVERYTHING else (including and especially VACCINES THAT KILL) and be their ‘live in’ god.
Be careful she’ll take that as a threat and send the State Police to pay you a visit.
Intellectually, I am sure that is worse than being convinced that Francis is Pope, but at times it would seem easier to stomach.
Are they perchance Cannibals or head hunters? Would Francis mind stopping by to console them? Asking for a friend.
I feel bad for them. Reminds me of the tribe that had airplanes landing and taking off near or on their island during WWII. After the war they built shrines and plane imitations trying to get the flying gods to come back.
I hope the group finds another symbolic spirit soon. Everyone is somewhere along the continuum, bless them.
OK, Joy Behar, then, as long as the natives don't object to the bruises from being touched by 10-foot poles.
...believe Prince Philip is their god and the incarnation of a volcano spirit...
He's no John Frum, but...
Ok, I won't say anything more about the big-titted, buck-toothed ignoramus.
Wow, what an interesting shape those loin coverings have.
I hear they’ve already found a new god: Hunter Biden.
Having been to Vanuatu about 5 years ago I can tell you they are truly wonderful people. Didn’t get to visit Tanna Island, but I hope to on a future visit.
