Prince Charles has paid a touching tribute to his father Prince Philip with a heart-warming one-minute video of his ‘life and work’.
The Prince of Wales shared a series of images set to music to celebrate the Duke of Edinburgh’s work with 992 organisations.
The Queen’s loyal husband of more than 70 years and the nation’s longest-serving consort died just two months before his 100th birthday on Friday.
Grieving family members rushed to pay tribute to the duke, with Prince Charles earlier describing him as his ‘dear Papa’ and a ‘very special person’.
In a video shared to Charles and Camilla’s official Twitter page, the Duke is seen throughout his life, both on official duties and in a more relaxed setting with his children.

In a recorded video message last week, the Prince of Wales said his father had given ‘the most remarkable, devoted service’ to ‘The Queen, to my family and to the country’, as well as the Commonwealth.
The Duke of Edinburgh was, he said, a ‘very special person’ who would have been ‘deeply touched’ by the sorrow felt by millions of people in Britain and across the world at news of his passing.
He said he would miss his father ‘enormously’ and added that his family were ‘deeply grateful’ for the condolences offered, which he said would ‘sustain us’ at this ‘particularly sad time’.
Prince Charles finished his message by simply saying: ‘Thank you’.

It comes as the Queen stoically returned to royal duties yesterday – four days after the death of her husband the Duke of Edinburgh.
The monarch, 94, hosted a retirement ceremony for the former Lord Chamberlain Earl Peel on Tuesday.
It comes after her husband of 73-years, Prince Philip, passed away aged 99 on Friday at Windsor Castle.
As touching tributes flooded in from across the nation for the duke, including flowers left at residences such as Windsor and Buckingham Palace, the family announced a two-week period of royal mourning.
But, in a move that typifies the Queen’s deep sense of duty, she returned early to bid farewell to Earl Peel – a key royal aide who is retiring after 14 years of service.
Earl Peel was the Lord Chamberlain, which is the most senior officer role in the royal household. He had been overseeing arrangements for the duke’s funeral – known as Operation Forth Bridge.
