Today Prince Philip will carry out his final public engagement before he retires from royal duties, when he meets the Royal Marines.
Since 1952, Prince Philip has undertaken 22,219 solo engagements, given 5,496 speeches and 785 organisations have had him as his patron or member.
We’ve dug into the archives to find photos of the 96-year-old at Royal Windsor, as well as his other equestrian highlights, from polo to racing, during his time in the spotlight.
