Explorer Sir David Hempleman-Adams said the Duke of Edinburgh was "a real, wonderful person" and a "surrogate father" to him for decades.
Sir David said Prince Philip's Duke of Edinburgh's Award had introduced him to "adventure" at 13 and the duke was a patron on many of his expeditions.
They were in regular contact until recently and Sir David said he was a "huge influence" on his life.
