Here are 10 photos from the life and times of the Duke of Edinburgh.
The dashing Prince Philip of Greece married the young Princess Elizabeth and went on to serve for decades as consort to the Queen.
Central to royal life since the 1940s, he was a father, a sportsman, a royal companion and a key public figure.
