More details about the dukes funeral are due to be released later, as tributes are paid across the country, the commonwealth and the world. Flags are flying at half mast in australia and more World Leaders send their condolences to the queen. Premier League Players and the wider sporting world are also paying their respects to the duke who was himself a talented sportsman. Hello and welcome again to Windsor Castle where people continue to arrive as they have throughout the day following the death of the Duke Of Edinburgh. Gun salutes have taken place to mark the death of the Duke Of Edinburgh across the uk, in gibraltar and from Navy Warships at sea. At midday, batteries fired 41 rounds, one every minute. Prince philip who died yesterday aged 99 served as a naval officer during the Second World War and held the office of lord high admiral. Later today details of the dukes funeral are expected to be announced. Our royal correspondent, nicholas witchell, reports. At midday in the Capital Cities of the four nations of the united kingdom, 41 gun salutes were fired. Fire gunshots. And for a man who served in the royal navy in the Second World War and later, guns were fired in the Royal Naval Base in portsmouth. And in gibraltar, home to the royal navys gibraltar squadron. At Windsor Castle, Prince Edward arrived to join the queen in the familys mourning, as officials put the finishing touches to the plans for the dukes funeral. And from the family, in a bbc programme broadcast last night, personal tributes from three of the dukes children. His energy was astonishing in supporting my mama and doing it for such a long time, and in some extraordinary way, being able to go on doing it for so long. His appreciation of how he could help the queen always seemed to be present, in terms of supporting her, because she was very young when she became queen and it needed to be, i think, a double act for a lot of that time in order to allow her to take on that role. My father was always a great source of support and encouragement. It was. And guidance all the way through. And never trying to curtail any of the activities or anything i that we wanted to try and do, but always encourage that. I and i will always remember and thank him for that. Well, you know, he didnt suffer fools gladly. So if you said anything that was in any way ambiguous, he would say, well, make up your mind. So perhaps it made one choose your words carefully, if you know what i mean. He was very good at showing you how to do things. He could instruct you in various things. I think i will best remember him as always being there, and a person you could bounce off ideas. But if you are having problems, you could always go to him and know that he would listen and try to help. What hes done has amounted to an i astonishing achievement, i think. I the dukes funeral is expected to take place at st georges chapel inside Windsor Castle. The setting so often for royal weddings, but in a weeks time, it will be where the queen and the dukes immediate family say their final farewells. The service will be in strict compliance with covid regulations. From Windsor Castle a short time ago, the earl and Countess Of Wessex departed after seeing the queen. She, the countess said, is being amazing. Match report from nicholas witchell. There has been a lot of people here have gathered at Windsor Castle today.

Many thanks. Tim muffett at Buckingham Palace we have reflected so much now on the huge scope of the duke of Edinburgh Award and the number of people who have taken part of it, runs and 130 countries, a charity very much of the duke so making and he was a supporter and a pizza and a number of other charities and have been talking to a lot of people today who met in through their various charity invaders. Supporter and a patron. One of the people he met through this work was tanvi vyas, a trustee of the Muscular Dystrophy Uk charity. Shejoins me now. I was privileged enough to meet the duke and two occasions, the most recent one being back in 2016 and it was a real privilege and an honour. We were celebrating the fact that he was royal patron for 50 years back in 2016 and, at the time, i was fortunate enough to actually share the stage with him, which is a very surreal experience. The other thing that really struck me was i met him about four or five years before that and he actually remembered me and considering the number of people he must meet, the fact that he could kinda just take their interest, that genuine interest in people and just reassure people was astounding. Did ou reassure people was astounding. Did you get the sense that he knew a lot about the charity, he understood the work that it was doing . Work that it was doing . Absolutely, and 50 years work that it was doing . Absolutely, and 50 years of work that it was doing . Absolutely, and 50 years of being work that it was doing .

Absolutely, and 50 years of being the royal and 50 years of being the royal patron was absolutely just showing that commitment, that work ethic, and he genuinely seemed to take a real interest in the Research Side of things, and the supporters, in speaking to people, and just raising awareness about Muscular Dystrophy as well. � ,. , awareness about Muscular Dystrophy as well. � , awareness about Muscular Dystrophy aswell. � awareness about Muscular Dystrophy as well. �. ,. , as well.

I am just struck by the number of people i have spoken to today who have said if youre going today who have said if youre going to have a conversation with him you need to know your stuff, because he knows his stuff and you need to be aware of what it says you wont be discussing.

The fact that he could really reassure people and just put people at ease when actually a lot of people within a very Nerve Racking situation and feel quite anxious but he just managed to come within moments, make you feel very special but also just make you feel very kind of reassures that everything is going to be ok. He just wanted to make you support the charity and had seen how far he could come within the 50 years he had been involved in it as well, so, for example, back when he first became involved and became the royal patron back in 1966, boys with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy will leading up to about forcing years old, and by now were seeing People Living into Their 30s And 40s were living up to about 1k years old but now were seeing People Living into Their 30s And 40s and we have seen how the charity can lace up oval and awareness, it has been a huge commitment and amazing getting to meet him.

Such a huge difference and actually because Muscular Dystrophy is a rare condition because the 70,000 people in the uk with Muscular Dystrophy but some of the rarer conditions within it only affects four or five people and just raising the profile with a relatively small or medium size charity but getting people to understand more about the condition and it has been a huge honour having him involved and has been a very sad loss for every one of cause and for the charity itself.

Well have more in the Duke Of Edinburgh and his contribution to public life in the country but have some of the other main stories the day. Two men have appeared in court in belfast, charged with rioting, after a further night of violence in northern ireland. Police were pelted with stones, bottles and petrol bombs. Loyalist groups had urged their supporters to stay at home following the death of Prince Philip. A friend of David Cameron has said the former Prime Minister now believes he should have put his request for funding for Greensill Capital in writing. Mr cameron texted the chancellor, rishi sunak, last year in an attempt to help the now collapsed Financial Firm get access to coronavirus loans. His friend insisted no rules had been broken. Brazils president , jair bolsonaro, has accused a Supreme Courtjudge of judicial activism, after he ordered an inquiry into the countrys handling of the pandemic. Mr bolsonaros response to covid has been criticised as shambolic, due to his opposition to lockdowns, mask wearing and vaccines. Well, in the last hour we have had the latest coronavirus figures for the latest coronavirus figures for the uk. The number of infections in the uk. The number of infections in the 24 hours to saturday is 2589 people testing positive and there were 40 deaths reported in the 24 hours to saturday. Those were people who had died within 28 days of receiving a positive test result for coronavirus. In all, on the vaccination front, 32,010,000 244 people have been vaccinated. 168 in the last 24 hours and, in total, 6 million people, just under 6 million. Have had their second dose as well. Accurate figures on the screen. Accurate figures on the screen. Many religious communities have been paying tribute to Prince Philip for his service. Lord Indarjit Singhjoins Me now, hes director of the network of sikh organisations. He met the duke, and can tell us about his contribution to the british sikh community. Thank you. He did have a wonderful relationship with not only sikhs but with all communities. The Duke Of Edinburgh showed our country a rare mix of wisdom and boundless energy. Few people understand how much he and others in the royalfamily contributed to the understanding and harmony between different faith communities. Ifirst met harmony between different faith communities. I first met him when harmony between different faith communities. Ifirst met him when i went to Buckingham Palace for some Function Blocks coming down the stairs and met him there and i started saying some greeting to him and as soon as i opened my mouth he said thought for the day, and went on to the say that you have been bringing those wonderful teachings he knew so much about seekers and then we met him at Buckingham Palace where he was chairing the sacred scriptures trust and, again, he always came across as very knowledgeable but always with a wink of a smile. He was so confident at his knowledge that he could also joke at the same time and this is a wonderful aspect of him. I had the good fortune to meet him at various Commonwealth Services and had been doing the Commonwealth Service until recently we would always meet the royal family at the end of the service and there was always a crew or a very astute comment on the service that had been taking place doesnt always equip. I also had the good fortune to be in invited to meet the royal family lunch good fortune to be in invited to meet the royalfamily lunch more than one occasion. There was always a quip. There he wasjoking away, showing off to the corgis and laughing and joking. He had that rare mix of wisdom and knowledge and at the same time he had an understanding essentially moving in the same direction and should respect one another. He also had a great love and understanding of the environment and he was a very. Person. He could see the whole picture and that he could also joke about it because people like that really wise people and sensible people can joke about our frailties. If he was himself, of course, had come from one face to another. He had been born into the Greek Orthodox church because he was born in greece and the royal family of greece and he became by choice or a christian in order to marry the queen puts he was respectful both of religious diversity but also of Ethnic Diversity as well. In a sense, he also said, he was in exile who came to this country and found a home here, as so many communities are done including many sikhs. To me, the essence of his contribution as he recognised what we could should all recognise. Iterate as he recognised what we could should all recognise. As he recognised what we could should all recognise. We are all of one common should all recognise. We are all of one common humanity. Should all recognise. We are all of one common humanity. He should all recognise. We are all of one common humanity. He had i should all recognise. We are all of i one common humanity. He had many friends in the seat community. He would visit gurdwaras and i am sure he could explain seekers and to some sikhs in a way that they hadnt understood before. Many friends and seek community, could explain seekers. I would win some sense that very conscious decision that Prince Charles has expressed that he wants when he inhabits the title from the queen as Head Of State wants to be not so much Defender Of The Faith in the henry viii model but defender of faith, that he wants to reflect that, and in some ways from his fatherinfluence. Absolutely. That influences there and i had the good fortune to meet Prince Charles on many occasions attending majorfunctions Prince Charles on many occasions attending major functions at the royal albert hall, two major seek functions and we have met on many occasions and he also comes across with this wisdom of being able to see the whole picture. I wish more people could do that. Can see the whole picture. I wish more people could do that. See the whole picture. I wish more people could do that. Can i ask you, do ou people could do that. Can i ask you, do you think people could do that. Can i ask you, do you think prayers people could do that. Can i ask you, do you think prayers may people could do that. Can i ask you, do you think prayers may be people could do that. Can i ask you, do you think prayers may be set people could do that. Can i ask you, do you think prayers may be set in l do you think prayers may be set in some of the gurdwaras in this country in memory of him because love in memory of him . Absolutely. Although things are limited because the coronavirus will have him in our hearts. He was an inspiration to the whole country but seeks particularly appreciated his take on religion. That is, it is all encompassing. We are all moving in the same or trying to move in the same ethical direction. Same ethical direction. Pleasure to seak same ethical direction. Pleasure to s eak to same ethical direction. Pleasure to speak to you same ethical direction. Pleasure to speak to you. Thank same ethical direction. Pleasure to speak to you. Thank you same ethical direction. Pleasure to speak to you. Thank you very same ethical direction. Pleasure to| speak to you. Thank you very much for bringing us your reflections on the Duke Of Edinburgh. The Duke Of Edinburgh had an obvious but also personal and Close Association with scotland, dating back to his schooldays in the 1930s. He and the queen have enjoyed holidays with family at balmoral every autumn for many decades. As Glen Campbell reports. At holyrood palace, The Lion Rampant is lowered, as the city that has long shared its name with the Duke Of Edinburgh takes in the news posted on the palace gates that his Royal Highness has died two months short of his 100th birthday. I do feel incredibly sad. I think it will be a great loss and he was a real character. The prince has been around for 99 years and has been at the queens side the entire time. So its a huge loss to the country, especially given his long service. In ballater on royal deeside, some remember a prince they met in person. We were walking in the forest and this Black Range Rover came up and the duke got out and was fixing something at the side of the road. He was a very active gentleman for his age. He must have been 94. He was a character we can all identify with. Yeah, sad. And ifeel so sorry for the dear queen. From his school days to big National Moments like the opening of the scottish parliament, the Duke Of Edinburghs association with scotland was lifelong. The royal couple were regular attenders of the Highland Games when they summered at balmoral. I think Prince Philip loved aberdeenshire because of the peace and quiet and indeed the outdoors. A man who was an accomplished sportsman, he loved attending the ballater games, i think he loved the competitive nature of Highland Games. In glasgow, more memories and reflections. Absolutely gutted. I honestly thought he was going to get to the hundred. I think a lot of people actually wished he was going to get to that hundred. Im gutted for the queen. | i did the duke of Edinburgh Award| scheme and that is something very positive hes give to the community. And from inverness. You kinda felt it was coming, but its still a bit of a shock at the same time when you heard about it. Yeah, it wasjust like a shame he didnt make it to a hundred, he was so close to his 100th and he was like a pillar of the royal family and quite an icon. More tributes will be paid at holyrood on monday when parliament is recalled to remember a remarkable prince. Glenn campbell, edinburgh. Lets cross to edinburgh and join our correspondent connor gillies. The sun is now shining in edinburgh so it is a lovely day to be standing that at Edinburgh Castle.

They were alljust behind me between 200 and 300 people there. A moment of reflection and of course a moment of sadness as well and everyone thinking their thoughts with the queen and now it widow reflecting on how she will base feeling this weekend after losing her husband of more than seven decades. 0ne her husband of more than seven decades. One woman was crying as she gathered here. Shejust wanted decades. One woman was crying as she gathered here. She just wanted to have that moment of reflection and shed said she did have to be here. It was, of course. The biggest public gathering for quite some time here in edinburgh because of the coronavirus regulation. At the other end of the royal mailjust in that direction is the palace of holyrood house. Fewerthan direction is the palace of holyrood house. Fewer than a dozen flowers have been laid bare. People have been following the advice to stay at home and to pay tribute online instead. The flowers that have been laid with the messages have been taken away by colour staff to be preserved elsewhere. Taken away by palace staff to be preserved elsewhere in the grounds of the palace. Grandfather came along with his grandson at one point as well. He was talking fondly about his memo to Prince Philip. And working at balmoral over the course of a number of years and he was telling his grandson about those times and how his grandson was learning about the royal family, his grandson was learning about the royalfamily, learning about his grandson was learning about the royal family, learning about Prince Philips strong connections with both edinburgh and scotland during his History Lessons at school so that was a really nice moment, but, you know, moving over the next couple of days, we are, of course, in the middle of an Election Campaign here in scotland. A campaign here in scotland. A campaign which is now imposing the moment. The political leaders will be recalled to holyrood for yet more reflections, more tributes on monday morning. And, in a minutes silence has also been held at the sp fl matches here in scotland.

Nice to see the sun was shining at edinburgh better than she is doing here in london see what the prospects are. Hello there. Many many of the shells will tend to fade away. That is going to allow the skies to clear once again and the skies to clear once again and the temperatures to fall away, much colder night to follow across east anglia and the south east. A touch of likely here. It does mean that we start off tomorrow relatively quiet, good deal of sunshine coming through with High Pressure building from the west butjust like today it wont be long before the Shower Cloud Developed and once again those areas are likely to struggle with the air coming out in the arctic, so those shows could continue to see some hail, sleet and snow mixed in there as well, Temperature Isjust hail, sleet and snow mixed in there as well, temperature is just a maximum of 5 10. Hello this is bbc news with shaun ley. The headlines. Gun salutes have been fired across the uk, in gibraltar and at sea in memory of the Duke Of Edinburgh.

Dog in that times and sat back on our own 18 yard line literally showed a different part of our game today, that we can dig in and we won that great quality and, i think we broke away a few times in the final ball is something we may be good have scored a bit earlier, but a real good good win.

Tributes to the Duke Of Edinburgh continue to be made across the world. As australians awoke on saturday to the news of his death, the Prime Minister, scott morrison, said his life had been one of duty, service, loyalty and honour. 0ur sydney correspondent, Shaimaa Khalil sent this report. Honouring a life of duty and service, a sign of respect for a man who for decades has had a long and enduring relationship with this country. The Prime Minister paid tribute to the Duke Of Edinburgh, whos presence, he said, was a reminder of the stability needed in a world that can often be uncertain. Memories of him will, of course, tell stories of his candour, and a unique and forceful and authentic personality. But above all he was a man who was steadfast, who could be relied upon, always standing by his queen. Prince philips military Services First brought him here in 1940. But it was in 1954 that he arrived alongside the newly crowned Queen Elizabeth on an historic visit, the first by a reigning monarch to australia. Troops and representatives of many australasian lands. The duke visited more than 20 times and has fostered a close connection with the country and its people. At times taking a moment to enjoy the famed aussie lifestyle. Throughout the decades, Prince Philip was patron to nearly 50 organisations here. But it is his character, his candour, his ability to be himself that have endeared him to so many australians. More than 700,000 Young Australians have taken part in the Duke Of Edinburghs award scheme. Sarah started when she was 16. I do not think i would have been able to actually participate in Community Events or participate in physical activity and learn these new skills that i got to learn without the award kind of pushing me to do that. The Duke Of Edinburgh has always been warmly welcomed here, and he will be fondly remembered by the politicians and the public alike. It was at the Tree Tops Lodge in kenya where life changed for the Duke Of Edinburgh, it was there that he had to tell his wife that king george had died, and that she would be queen. 0ur africa correspondent sent this, from the Tree Tops Lodge where the royal couple stayed all those years ago. Newsreel the royalvisitors stepped off into the hot i sunshine of nairobi. It was just a week ago today. Prince philip often told the story of how his wife came here a princess. They went up into the tree house and when they came down the next day, she was a queen. But at that moment they didnt know that her father had passed away in the night. It wasnt until they got to a royal residence, not too far away from here that he was tasked with the duty of having to tell her that her father had died and that she was now queen. The queens plan was to walk to the site of the original treetops where a few stones of the building remain. This was a moment that transformed both their lives. But also personally for Prince Philip. He was a navy officer with a promising career, but he had to give that up in order to support his wife. He took on many roles supporting the monarchy and would step in when required. So for example, in 1963 when kenya gained independence he took part in the handover ceremony, standing in for his wife. And over the decades he has travelled across this continent, particularly representing the commonwealth which, right now, stands as a major legacy for prince lip and Queen Elizabeth. Particularly representing the commonwealth which, right now, stands as a major legacy for Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth. The Duke Of Edinburgh was the patron of hundreds of charities around the world. His first in 1953 was for the Outward Bound trust. Prince philip remained patron on the charity until 2019. We can speak to the Chief Executive of the Outward Bound trust, nick barrett. Thank you very much for being with us on bbc news this afternoon. Before we talk about more about his involvement with the work of Outward Bound, its worth saying that you your founder and bound, its worth saying that you yourfounder and he, people your founder and he, people Listening Yourfounder and he, people listening to the coverage will be a name they have heard and they might be surprised about his connection with Outward Bound.

Absolutely. We have all come to learn what an so long. Absolutely. We have all come to learn what an extraordinary, varied and busy life he had and yet, there was, if you are looking for a clear thread throughout all of that, was his absolute passion and commitment for the development of young people. And that is evidenced by his lifelong involvement with the Outward Bound trust and of course his founding of the duke of Edinburgh Award scheme. But both of those speak to this cause that he passionately believed in what was that every young person should be given the opportunity to develop themselves, find out the best in themselves. In themselves, find out the best in themselves themselves. In an increasingly urbanised themselves. In an increasingly urbanised country, themselves.

It seems to have been a real passion for him. Was that expressed in his contributions as patron .

And he would drop into centres to meet our staff sometimes and talk to young people without any publicity at all and also he would help us with some high profile events, particularly around fundraising. Helping us to raise literally millions of pounds to enable young people from any kind of background, financially disadvantaged or whatever, to come on the courses and a lot of this was sight unseen, just because he wanted us, the charity to thrive and do well.

And like everything about him, it was simple and to the point and he would never pretend otherwise if he was meeting a potential wealthy donor that, you know, they might need their money. He used to say regularly that a Good Business makes money, but a good charity needs money. And that would be the mantra that he would hook them on really. Be the mantra that he would hook them on reall. ,. Them on really. Thank you very much. Pleasure. A two minute silence is due to be held for Prince Philip at Aintree Racecourse ahead of the Grand National. The Duke Of Edinburghs sporting activities provided him with a welcome opportunity to get away from formal royal duties. For him, sport became an outlet for his restless energy, and Prince Philip proved himself to be a keen and talented competitor in a number of different sports. 0ur correspondent Natalie Pirks looks back Prince Philip always enjoyed sport, and he often excelled at it. Applause. At school, he learned to love sailing. As a wedding present, he and the queen were given a yacht. The duke took part in the Royal Regatta at cowes for 50 years. Even winning the most prestigious trophy, the britannia cup, with his friend uffa fox in 1952. The thing about going to sea is you are suddenly exposed to an element which you cannot really control, you are subject to it. I think that is quite good for the soul, frankly. And now a change of bowling from the pavilion end. As an enthusiastic cricketer, he also drew praise from high places. That one moved across to leg. He has a perfect action for a right hand off spin bowler. Laughing. But what you might not know is just how the Playing Fields around us are a huge part of his legacy. While councils were busy selling them off, his tireless Fundraising Campaign led to thousands of uk sites being saved. It is a true testament to his passion, his commitment to sport, and the opportunities that he saw that sport could create for so many young people who did not necessarily have access to green space. The duke shared the queens love of horses and became one of the top four polo players in britain in the mid 60s. Cementing the sport is a firm royal favourite. Arthritis ended his Playing Career at 50. Go on, you stupid horse but Carriage Driving became his new passion, and he was instrumental in drawing up the rules. He helped raise its profile and competed for britain at world and european championships. Great britain was represented by George Bowman. Fellow team mate George Bowman remembered him fondly. I was a scrap merchant. And of course he was a prince. At times, people made a lot about this, but he never treated me any different. He always looked at me like an equal. And that was one of the things i really admired about him. Despite some hair raising spells along the way, the duke carried on well into old age. His passion made sport a family affair. Nick at the Outward Bound trust talked about the direct approach the Duke Of Edinburgh made. Royal visits were part and parcel of the dukes life, and hes been remembered fondly for his long life of public service. To perform thousands upon thousands of royal visits is their duty, theirjob, but to make each one feel so special to the people they meet, that is an art form. The aura just filled the whole factory. The queen, very petite, small lady, but, as i said, the aura that she gives off, it was an unbelievable experience. During the Diamond Jubilee tour of 2012, the queen and the Duke Of Edinburgh visited the bailey caravans factory in bristol. The duke was very interested on how different components were assembled. He had a chat with a lot of the guys on the shop floor. I also remember he was smiling, laughing, very engaging man. It was just a wonderful experience. Were you surprised at all that he was interested in the nuts and bolts, lets put it that way . Yeah, i was. At one point, each station that fits various components, he actually commented on the fact that the way the caravans are assembled are very similar to the way that they build boats. But what stays with simon about that day was notjust the dukes intellectual curiosity, but his tenderness. It was almost a dayjob for them. They do it a lot. But they were so good at putting people at their ease, being engaging with them and everyone felt, sort of having met them, they were special in some way. Probably my favourite or my fondest memory of the day, it was quite cold and i remember when the queen and Prince Philip were leaving, Prince Philip got into the car and he picked the blanket up off the seat and he put it across the queens knees to keep her warm, which i thought was lovely and it reminded me, above all else, that they were very loving married couple. And for steve, it was his rapier like sense of humour that was unforgettable. When they were both leaving, the queen and the duke, i i was at the top opening the front door for them to let them out i obviously, and there was a bit of rubbish on the floor. I quickly picked it upi not realising my gold chains fell out of my top. When he looked at me twice i he gave me a big smile and said, dont you believe in banks, sir . I was totally shocked i that he actually spoke and i said, no, sir, idont~ it was a real honour to meet him and to speak to him. Amazing. As sharp as a tack and aged in his early 90s. The queens representative in bristol, the lord lieutenant, has more fond memories ofjokes about gold chains. I can remember when he came to bristol and the lord mayor at the time was colin smith and he and i were waiting to receive his Royal Highness. He came into the back and of course colin had all the chains on and the Duke Of Edinburgh went up to him and went, thump, thump, thump is that real gold . So i can imagine, as a grandfather, he really delighted his grandchildren. He could get up to the best devilment. Those who met Prince Philip speak of a burning desire to discover more about engineering, art, the environment, but also peoples lives. Its really lovely to see you. How are you . Are you 0k . Michaela tells me she met him while raising awareness of disability issues. Because im also deaf, and events where there is a crowded room i bring my chair up a little bit higher. Which allows me to be at eye level with people and allows me to lip read them. And he walked over to us and he looked at me and said, wow, look at your wheelchair. Thats really great. I love how high you are. And gave us a lovely opportunity to talk about how Much Technology has advanced and allowed us to be equal people and equal citizens. It was just a lovely moment betwen the three of us. In 1957, he saw the abandoned ship, the Ss Great Britain, as he piloted a seaplane over the Falkland Islands. And 12 years later, they would be reunited. The mission to bring the Ss Great Britain back to the uk from the Falkland Islands was an incredible story fraught with risk and adventure. Just the type of thing the Duke Of Edinburgh was interested in and, in fact, on the day that it returned to this dock here in bristol, the one where it was built, he was on board to witness its return. He became the very first patron of the ships trust. What do you think . Dont ask me laughter. And that love of the sea and aviation combined perfectly at the Fleet Air Arm Museum in somerset. He was Royal Marines so he was a Captain General and always was a keen supporter of all things royal navy, but in particular, naval heritage. And all of the museums which now form part of the National Museum of the royal navy. Before stepping back from public life four years ago, the Duke Of Edinburgh took part in hundreds of tours and engagements each year. Part of his everyday which, for those who met him, created an unforgettable day. John maguire, bbc news.
