His formal title was “His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh”, but was referred to as either “Prince Philip” or “The Duke of Edinburgh”.

He also had two subsidiary titles: His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, Earl of Merioneth, Baron Greenwich.

The capitalised “The” in front of “Prince” is normally only given to children of the monarch but was bestowed on Philip in 1957 when he was created a Prince of the United Kingdom.

In common with other royals, Philip held a number of honorary ranks in many areas of the armed forces including that of Lord High Admiral – that title bestowed by the Queen on his 90th birthday.

For decades, the Duke of Edinburgh joined the rest of the Royal Family in spending Christmas at Sandringham in the English county of Norfolk.

But his affiliation with Norfolk did not just centre around the festive season.

Prince Philip would end up staying a few months throughout each year on the estate - both at the main house and the secluded Wood Farm in Wolferton.

The 20,000-acre (8,000-ha) estate encompasses arable, livestock and fruit farms, as well as a country park.

It enabled him to indulge his passions for country pursuits, such as shooting and carriage-driving.

And when he retired from public life in 2017, Prince Philip chose Wood Farm as his permanent home.

Canadian royal watcher and author Patricia Treble said the duke went to Canada over 70 times.

"He was here at least once a year for a long time," to visit his regiments and charities, she told the BBC, before his last visit in 2013.

"I think what he liked about this country is that it's a very forthright country. We don't hide what we want to say and I think he appreciated that.

"We're not ones who would follow and make a lot of fuss over him. He would just get on, do his job and go."

She added: "There is a real sense of affection here and it's caught people a bit off guard. Because, there's been a lot of scandals here. We tend to hear about the Royal Family when they're in the news, when it's weddings or scandals.

"And when we heard the news that he'd died, what you really saw, especially on social media, was just this outpouring of affection, people saying: 'Oh, I stood for hours to see them here, I stood to see them here, or I was in a regiment here.'"

"It's caught a lot of Canadians off guard. It's a grim time for us here, we've got the pandemic, which is very bad here, we're in the middle of our third wave, and so when this news came I think everyone just went 'oh no', and instant sympathy for the Queen."

Outside Buckingham Palace, some people have continued to pay their respects well into the night.

At just after 01:00 BST, father Alex and his two children spoke to the BBC from outside the palace's gates in central London, where they came in the freezing cold to lay flowers.

"We wanted to come down, we felt obviously earlier on today may have been a bit busy so we wanted to try and avoid the crowds," said Alex, from south east London.

He said they wanted to come during the night "in order to have a bit of time to spend in front of the palace, and take some nice photos, lay some flowers and pay our respects".

"I was quite sad, I was really quite sad. I saw the news this morning and you know, we were just at home, we were all quite cut up about it really.

"It was a sad moment, and obviously we talked as a family and decided we wanted to come down and visit."

Gabby added she knew a few things about Prince Philip. "I learnt about him once in history so it was quite interesting," she said.

Mourners began to leave flowers outside Royal residences soon after Prince Philip's death was announced - including at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle.

The government has since urged people not to gather or lay flowers because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Tributes to the duke have poured in today from all four nations in the UK.

In Wales, celebrities, friends and those who met him shared their fond memories.

Welsh rugby captain Alun Wyn Jones said thousands of young people had taken part in the Duke of Edinburgh's Award and their impact on other people's lives would be a "lasting legacy".

The Duke of Edinburgh saw 18 US presidents elected in his lifetime, and he met many of them with the Queen.

In fact, Queen Elizabeth has met 12 US presidents since she became monarch almost 70 years ago.

Current President Joe Biden, along with all living former presidents, have now paid tribute to Prince Philip.

"He never slowed down at all. Which I admire the devil out of," Mr Biden said on Friday.

Donald Trump said Prince Philip "defined British dignity and grace", while Barack Obama praised the duke's "sharp wit and unfailing good humour".

George W Bush, meanwhile, said he and his wife Laura were "fortunate to have enjoyed the charm and wit of his company".

"We know how much he will be missed," they said in a statement.

According to actor Matt Smith - who played the Duke of Edinburgh in the Crown - Prince Philip's response to whether he watched The Crown was: "Don't. Be. Ridiculous."

The hugely popular drama series, which portrayed the inner life of Britain's modern-day Royal Family, covered many of the moments in Prince Philip's life.

Smith, who was nominated for an Emmy in 2018 for playing the role, told Variety that year: "I sort of loved Philip, and there was a lot that I could identify with: the competitiveness, the sporting nature, the battle, the defiance and the maleness.

"All the research I did found him to be brilliantly funny, very clever, very popular. In the royal house he's the most popular of all of them. If you've talked to any of the staff, Philip's the one they all love really. I think more than a lot of them, he's a bit more of a man of the people."

Actor Tobias Menzies, who played an older Philip in the series, has also spoken about the role.

And on Friday, following the news of the duke's death, Menzies tweeted:, external "If I know anything about the Duke of Edinburgh I'm fairly sure he wouldn't want some actor who has portrayed him on television giving their opinion on his life," he said, going on to quote the character of Orlando in Shakespeare's As You Like It.

Earlier, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison held a press conference in which he paid respect to Prince Philip "on behalf of the Australian people".

"The duke's life was one of duty and of service, of loyalty and of honour," he said. "Memories of him will of course tell stories of his candour, and [his] unique and forceful and authentic personality."

"But above all, he was a man who was steadfast, who could be relied upon, always standing by his Queen."

"There are many towering figures that the world has lost and known, but few have been before us in our lifetimes for such a long time," Mr Morrison said.

"With his passing, we say farewell to another of the greatest generation."

Taiwan's ministry of foreign affairs has issued a statement expressing its sincere condolences following the duke's death on Friday.

"Prince Philip had been an important supporting force for Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom for many years," it said.

"He earnestly fulfils his royal duties and actively participates in royal charity work.

"He is deeply loved by the British people and respected globally.

"The death of Prince Philip was not only a loss to the British government and people, but also to the loss of a model leader in the international community."

The president of Madagascar, the island nation famed for its unique wildlife, has paid tribute to Prince Philip's high-profile role in conservation.

The duke was the first president of the World Wildlife Fund UK (WWF UK) from 1961 to 1982 and President of WWF International from 1981 to 1996. He was president emeritus of WWF International at the time of his death.

Writing on Twitter, Andry Rajoelina said: "A fervent defender of nature, the Duke of Edinburgh had visited Madagascar, whose biodiversity he appreciated."

Elsewhere in Africa, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta described the Duke of Edinburgh as a unifying figure and a "great man".

He said the duke had been "a towering symbol of family values and the unity of the British people as well as the entire global community".

The Duke of Edinburgh will be remembered as a "unique man", a cousin of his told BBC Newsnight.

India Hicks, who is also a cousin of Philip, spoke of her mother Lady Pamela Hicks' enduring memory of the duke.

Ms Hicks said: "I called her (my mother) first thing this morning and said, 'How are you feeling?' and she said, 'Emotional.'

"And I said, 'What would be your defining words about your cousin Prince Philip?'

"She said, 'He was a unique man, there will never be anyone like him again.'"

Lady Pamela is the daughter of Philip's uncle, Earl Mountbatten, who was murdered by the IRA in 1979.

Ms Hicks said her mother described Philip as "boisterous" when he was growing up and the one to always instigate the "naughty games".

A couple more UK newspaper front pages have been released. Like the Sun, the Times has a special wrap-around cover marking the duke's life.

On the back, the Times quotes the duke when he was aged 90, looking back on life as Queen's consort.

"It was trial and error," his quote reads. "There was no precedent. if I asked somebody, 'what do you expect me to do?' they all looked blank. Nobody had much idea."

Martin Palmer, who was a friend of the Duke of Edinburgh, has told BBC Newsnight what it was like being close to the prince.

"You saw what you got," he said. "He really was a man who lived publicly as he lived privately. He was straightforward.

"He was very funny. He loved stories. We used to spend a lot of time swapping stories of the disasters that had happened to us.

"He was immensely bright, I mean incredibly well-read. When he retired, I said to him, 'I'm really scared now. He said, 'why?' I said, 'well you're going to have even more time to read those books and articles which you're then going to quote to me and I'm going to go, what book? what article?'

"He loved engaging with people. And he loved being very straightforward and honest. What he could not stand was anybody kowtowing.

"He loved a good argument and we had some stomping arguments."

Mr Palmer added: "He really was a man of enormous passions. He was passionate about things that he cared about."

This evening the BBC aired a special programme remembering the duke's life, featuring interviews with his four children.

The Prince of Wales told the BBC "his energy was astonishing in supporting my mama, and doing it for such a long time".

Princess Anne added she will best remember him "as always being there".

Lord Indarjit Singh, head of the UK's Sikh community, has also shared a tribute to the duke, calling him an "inspiring companion".

He said he first met Prince Philip at Buckingham Palace for a meeting of the Sacred Literature Trust, which the duke set up to publish and promote writings of different faiths.

The duke was a "pioneer in promoting interfaith understanding", he said.

"He surprised me with his knowledge of Sikh teachings. He was extremely knowledgeable on a variety of subjects with a wonderful wry sense of humour."

Lord Singh added: "Prince Philip served our country with a rare mix of wisdom and boundless energy.

"His passing is a loss to us all."

Many of these details [of what happens next] of course have been already worked out and they will be made public tomorrow.

I think we can say that two things are certain. Events will be focused very much on Windsor, on St George's Chapel, and I think that we will find a funeral will take place in, I would imagine, about a week from now.

I think the other thing of which we can be absolutely certain is that there will be no fuss.

That is precisely as the duke would have wanted and I would imagine probably as he has directed himself - and of course which is also right and necessary within all the Covid requirements.

The palace and the Queen will be absolutely determined and insistent that all those requirements are fully met and that the funeral is fully compliant

And between now and then, from this nation and from the wider world, tributes will continue to be paid to this "restless outsider" as he was once described who made such a contribution in support of the British monarch and the British monarchy.

Many of the UK newspaper front pages express their sorrow for the Queen's loss.

Several papers focus on the wording used in Buckingham Palace's statement as they announced the death on Friday, referring to the duke as the Queen's "beloved husband".

The Sun's message for Her Majesty reads: "We're all weeping with you, Ma'am."

Part of tonight's special programme chronicling the life of the Duke of Edinburgh explored his embrace of television when it was an emerging medium.

Prince Philip was instrumental in the televising of the Queen's 1953 coronation - a ceremony previously unseen by the British public.

And tonight's programme explored another of the duke's attempted innovations - an early form of behind-the-scenes documentary film.

Richard Cawston's BBC film, Royal Family, was first broadcast in 1969, after the director and his cameras followed the family for a year.

Royal Family was viewed by a worldwide audience of more than 350 million after airing, but it was then buried away in the BBC archive.

Tonight's special programme contained footage from Royal Family - showing the royals having a picnic and holding conversations together - as it told how some saw the exposure as a "mistake".

"I think it was a revelation to a lot of people, I think he saw it was a good idea to let people realise, I think, that being a member of the Royal Family, you were still a human being," Patricia Knatchbull, 2nd Countess Mountbatten of Burma, who died in 2017, says in archive footage.

Tonight's special programme telling the life story of the Duke of Edinburgh concludes with tributes from his children.

"He treated everybody as an individual and gave them the respect that he felt they were due as individuals," remarks the Princess Royal.

The Prince of Wales says: "His energy was astonishing, in supporting my mama, and doing it for such a long time, and some extraordinary way being able to go on doing it for so long.

"What he has done has amounted to an astonishing achievement."
