Prince Philip and his daughter Princess Anne undeniably had one of the strongest father-and-daughter bonds - with many going as far to suggest that she was his favourite child.
During a visit to the Royal Windsor Horse Show in 1995, their close bond was evident. The Duke of Edinburgh - who passed away at the age of 99 on Friday - was seen keeping a close eye on his then four-year-old daughter, carefully tucking her under a blanket to keep her from the outdoor breeze.

Princess Anne is a famed equestrian, having won two silver medals and one gold medal at the European Eventing Championships in the seventies. She is also the first member of the British Royal Family to have competed in the Olympic Games.

Meanwhile, on Sunday afternoon, Princess Anne paid an emotional tribute to her late father. Her statement read: "You know it’s going to happen but you are never really ready. My father has been my teacher, my supporter and my critic, but mostly it is his example of a life well-lived and service freely given that I most wanted to emulate."
She added: "His ability to treat every person as an individual in their own right with their own skills comes through all the organisations with which he was involved.
