The Duke of Edinburgh would have turned 100 on Thursday, and Charles and Camilla honoured the occasion by sharing a message on their social media accounts that featured two throwback photos of the late royal and a caption that read: "Remembering The Duke of Edinburgh, on what would have been his 100th birthday."

Philip sadly died on 9 April and the heir to the throne has spoken movingly about his father's death over the last couple of months, including at the end of Ramadan in May.
Speaking in a heartfelt video message, the 72-year-old Prince was candid about his own grief as he shared his sorrow for those who had lost loved ones during the COVID-19 crisis.

"This year so many families, like my own, will have an empty seat at their dinner table and friends will no longer be able to share the celebratory hug after Eid prayers," Charles said.
He added: "I can only say how deeply saddened I am by this tragic situation and how my heart goes out to all those who have lost their loved ones."
The death of the late Duke prompted an outpouring of public grief and support and Charles thanked well-wishers with a touching card which featured a black-and-white photo showing father and son during a motorboat race in Cowes back in 1958.
