Incredible pictures have been released which show the first time The Queen and Prince Philip met in Devon.
The Ministry of Defence has shared the photos of Her Majesty meeting the Duke of Edinburgh, who died last Friday aged 99, eight years before they married.
The pair first met at Britannia Royal Naval College in Dartmouth in 1939, when the then Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark was tasked to look after Princess Elizabeth after there was an outbreak of mumps which excused them from going to church.
