Prince Philip: Legacy of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award

The Duke of Edinburgh's Award, set up by Prince Philip in 1956, was based on a Welsh model to inspire young people.

Currently more than eight million people have completed the award in more than 160 countries around the world.

When it was set up, the duke said he wanted to "give young people a chance to discover their own abilities for themselves".
