Prince Philip steps down as Colonel-in-Chief of The Rifles

In a rare public appearance at Windsor Castle, the Duke of Edinburgh has handed over patronage of The Rifles to the Duchess of Cornwall.

Prince Philip held the role of Colonel-in-Chief from 2007, but his connection to the infantry regiment stretches back to 1953.

Four buglers, from The Band and Bugles of the The Rifles, came to Windsor Castle to mark the occasion and thank the 99-year-old for his service.

Camilla received the honour at a separate ceremony at her Highgrove home in Gloucestershire.
