Prince Philip immortalised the Duke of Edinburgh title with over 70 years of service.
The Duke lent his title to the awards scheme which has benefited millions of young people since it was created in 1956, as well as becoming the patron of countless charities.
The title of the Duke of Edinburgh will eventually pass on to Prince Edward, but not until the Queen dies and Prince Charles becomes King.
Charles is the current Duke of Edinburgh and holds the title in keeping with the Letters Patent issued when George VI gave Philip the title in 1947.
