The black-and-white image, which depicts Prince Philip dressed in uniform, is a reminder to Britain of his longrunning career in the Royal Navy.
The duke joined the armed forces at the age of 18, graduating as a top cadet from the Britannia Royal Navy College. He went on to serve in World War II, during which time he became one of the youngest ever lieutenants at 21.
