THE Duke of Edinburgh’s life as a family man and a military hero can be seen in a series of photographs that were colourised as a tribute to the royal.
One shows him with the Queen and their children Prince Charles and Princess Anne after the announcement of the Her Majesty’s third pregnancy in 1959.
The four royals were also seen pictured in 1955 with The Shah of Persia and his wife, Queen Soraya during a private visit to the UK.
The Duke was photographed wearing a chequered shirt with a neckerchief as he danced at the Ottawa Barn Dance in 1951.
Another image shows the royal sitting proudly as he posed for a photo wearing his uniform of Marshall for the Royal Air Force in 1953.
While his heart lay at sea with the Royal Navy, Philip was a keen aviator. He received his wings in 1953 and clocked up more than 6,000 flying hours.
In another picture, the late Prince can be seen giving a salute on board a military vehicle as he passed through Edinburgh in 1948.
He put his feet up in a another colourised shot taken at the River Dee in Cheshire in 1970.
And another picture shows a fresh-faced Philip beaming as a youngster in 1935.
