The Prince of Wales said in the post on the Clarence House account: “Over the course of his life, The Duke of Edinburgh was associated with 992 organisations in areas including technology, conservation, education and the welfare of young people.

“Take a look back at the life and work of The Duke of Edinburgh.”

The short video features photos of the Royal Family over Philip’s 73-year marriage to the Queen.

It includes snaps of Philip at sporting events, out on public engagements and spending time with his wife and children.

It follows Charles’ tribute to his “dear papa” on Saturday.

In an emotional statement, he said he misses his father “enormously” and the Duke would be “so deeply touched” by the outpouring of grief.

“I particularly wanted to say that my father, for I suppose the last 70 years, has given the most remarkable, devoted service to The Queen, to my family and to the country, but also to the whole of the Commonwealth. 

“As you can imagine, my family and I miss my father enormously.

“He was a much loved and appreciated figure and apart from anything else, I can imagine, he would be so deeply touched by the number of other people here and elsewhere around the world and the Commonwealth, who also I think, share our loss and our sorrow.

“My dear papa was a very special person who I think above all else would have been amazed by the reaction and the touching things that have been said about him and from that point of view we are, my family, deeply grateful for all that.

“It will sustain us in this particular loss and at this particularly sad time. Thank you.”
