Thank you John.
Below John's instruction is another option for Adding Bookmarks in Safari.
1. go to the web site in Safari, that you wish to bookmark.
2. Once there, at the bottom of the iPhone screen, locate the "share"
button and double tap it.
3. Swipe through the choices until you locate "add bookmark" and double tap
that.
4. Now you will have the option of naming the bookmark, which you can do if
it is not recognizable from what is already in the text field.
5. When finished, locate the "save" button and double tap that.
Also, you can add the page to the bookmark to the homescreen in the share
menu.

Here is another way to add a bookmark in Safari
Safari for iPhone and iPad is an incredibly capable mobile web browser
despite its simple, straightforward user interface. It is the browser of
choice on iOS, in large part because it is the one pre-installed, but very
few people know everything you can do with Safari.
Much of Safari's advanced functionality is hidden behind "long-pres
gestures" that most people do not know exist.
Long press on the Show Bookmarks button: which is a one finger double tap
and hold gesture when running VoiceOver.
On Safari for iPhone and iPad, the normal way to add a bookmark for a
webpage is to press the Share button and scroll through the activity pop-up
to select the Add Bookmark option. Using a long-press, you can do the same
thing more quickly.
Long-press on the Show Bookmarks button (which tapping on normally takes you
to view your bookmarks) and a new action menu appears. The modal features
options to Add Bookmark or Add to Reading List. Saving to Reading List is
immediate, whilst tapping the bookmark option will open the usual options
view to confirm the name and Favorites folder location.
