Prince Andrew, the duke's third child, has also shared a memory of his father from his childhood.

"Like any other family at the time, your parents went out to work in the day," he said.

"But in the evening, just the same as any other family, we would get together, we would sit on the sofa as a group and he would read to us."

Andrew and his three siblings paid tribute to their father on a special programme, which you can watch again here.

The Duke of Edinburgh "did not suffer fools", the Prince of Wales has remembered in tonight's special programme.

"Well you know he didn't suffer fools. So if you said anything that was in any way ambiguous - he'd say 'make up your mind!'," Prince Charles remembers.

"Perhaps it's made one choose your words carefully. He was very good at showing you how to do things, instruct you in various things."

The Princess Royal adds: "As you grew older, there was a lot of talking to you about the things he had done, so you became aware of what else was going on and the things he'd been doing.

"But there was a huge amount of encouragement to do things and quite a lot of leeway of pushing your own boundaries, which is probably not given to many nowadays, I have to say."

Prince Philip's children have been speaking about how they will remember him. Their tributes have been aired as part of a BBC special remembering his life.

"I think I will best remember him as always being there," says Princess Anne.

"And a person you could bounce off ideas, but if you were having problems you could always go to him and know that he would listen and try to help."

Her younger brother, Edward, Earl of Wessex, added: "My father was always a great source of support and encouragement, and guidance all the way through, and never trying to curtail any of the activities or anything that we wanted to try and do but always encourage that.

"I will always remember and thank him for that."

Prince Philip was "a man of great abilities", says environmentalist and broadcaster Sir David Attenborough.

"And the question is, how do you deploy those abilities if you're in such a role. And he had no hesitation at all in using it for the benefit of conservation."

The duke became the first royal to ever present a studio television programme in 1957, when he aired The Restless Sphere, taking an in-depth look at the state of the planet.

Princess Anne, his daughter, suggested he always had a "long-term view".

Sir David added: "What you have to remember, is that in the early 1950s, it was seen as a problem and the majority of people were quite unaware we were heading for ecological disasters."

Prince Philip went on to become president of the World Wide Fund for Nature in the 1960s.

The duke's life is being remembered as part of a news special on BBC television channels.

BBC News Chinese, in Hong Kong

As Buckingham Palace announced the Duke of Edinburgh’s passing, it was already way into the night here in the former British colony.

Given recent events and tension, marking his death in this Chinese territory just feels a bit politically incorrect. Yet a few organisations have managed to pay their tributes on social media. That includes the Hong Kong Award for Young People - the continuation of the Duke of Edinburgh Award since the 1997 Handover - and WWF Hong Kong.

The University of Hong Kong Archive also acted quickly, fetching a copy of the itinerary of the prince’s visit to Hong Kong with the Queen in 1975.

Some history enthusiasts are also trying to recall how the prince made his first connection with Hong Kong back in World War Two when he arrived on board HMS Whelp after Japan’s surrender.

Miriam Lee, who blogs under the name Strolling Tanka, says her grandmother and a few grand aunts once worked as cleaners at the Royal Navy dockyard as teenagers. It's now known as the Admiralty and Tamar area that unfortunately saw many of the clashes in the 2014 and 2019 anti-government protests. Ms Lee said the then Lt Philip Mountbatten used to give them sweets.

When Ms Lee herself visited Buckingham Palace some 10 years ago at the invitation of the Visit Britain tourism agency, she finally had a chance to recall this story with Prince Philip in person. The Duke seemed to have remembered it well.

“There were some very young women helping out,” Prince Philip told Ms Lee. She concluded the post by saying: “I knew that. And you gave them all those treats.”

"His appreciation of how he could help the Queen always semeed to be present in terms of supporting her," says the Princess Royal during a special programme telling the Duke of Edinburgh's life story across BBC Television tonight.

"Because she was very young when she became Queen and it needed to be, I think, a double act for a lot of that time, to allow her to take on that role," Princess Anne says.

"I never asked him whether he would have stayed on in the service - he saw his role as supporting the Queen," adds Prince Andrew.

Sir David Attenborough, speaking on tonight's special programme remembering the Duke of Edinburgh, pays tribute to his service in the Royal Navy.

The duke was one of the youngest first lieutenants in the Royal Navy and went on to fight for Britain during World War Two.

"The one thing that he was, which was undeniable, was a war hero," says Sir David.

"He had a fairly distinguished war. He hadn't been driving a desk, he had been at sea."

President Joe Biden said the entire US administration sent their condolences to the Queen on the loss of Prince Philip - who was a "heck of a guy".

He paid tribute to the Duke of Edinburgh's "lifetime of service", his active duty during World War Two and his championing of the environment.

Former Liberian president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf told the BBC that all those who had met Prince Philip would be "very saddened" by his death.

“I met him during the period of the presidency of William Tolbert of Liberia, who had been invited by the Queen," she told the Focus on Africa radio programme.

"He was so stately, so accommodating, the warmth that he was able to convey in those short moments of being able to greet him, just gave me reassurance that I was in the presence of greatness. It just makes you feel so good, it makes you feel so welcome."

"I think he'll probably want to be remembered as an individual in his own right," Prince Charles says, in a new special programme remembering the Duke of Edinburgh airing now across BBC Television.

Watch now on this page, on the BBC iPlayer, or any BBC Television channel.

Royal author Katie Nicholl remembers the Duke of Edinburgh as a "real innovator" and "pioneer" who found a role for himself within the Royal Family.

"He shook things up. Often in a way that upset courtiers... for example, he took away the staff kitchen at Buckingham Palace because he didn't understand the need to have two, [he felt it was] absolutely over the top and unnecessary", she tells the BBC's HRH The Duke of Edinburgh Remembered programme.

"He did things like put solar energy panels in... I think in the same way you see the Prince of Wales as very ahead of his time, that's very much his father. He loved science and technology... the Prince Philip Designer's Award spawned many great people."

She also recalls the duke's instrumental role in allowing the Queen's 1953 coronation to be televised. "It wasn't the only occasion that he put the Royal Family at the forefront of this new relatively new genre of television," she adds.

Prince Philip was a "heck of guy" who "never slowed down", US President Joe Biden has told reporters.

Speaking at the White House, Mr Biden recalled the prince's "bravery" in World War Two and praised his service to Britain and the Commonwealth.

He also noted the duke's charity work and his role as a "champion of the environment".

"He was a heck of a guy," Mr Biden, 78, said. "I think he's going to be missed, particularly in the United Kingdom. Ninety nine years old and never slowed down at all, which I admire the devil out of."

The Duke of Edinburgh's legacy of environmentalism will continue with his son, the Prince of Wales, and grandsons, the Duke of Cambridge and Duke of Sussex, Roya Nikkhah, royal correspondent for the Sunday Times newspaper, says.

She tells the BBC's HRH The Duke of Edinburgh Remembered programme: "The Prince of Wales has often talked about people thinking he was 'dotty' when he started talking about environmentalism in the 1970s.

"He was folowing his father's footsteps. Prince William continues to talk about that now, as does Prince Harry. Those are things they've inherited from him and we'll see them continue that in honour of their father and grandfather."

Commander Malcolm Sillars has been remembering his time as the Duke of Edinburgh's equerry, between 1990 and 1992.

He recalls the duke as a "remarkable man" who spent great energy keeping sport at the front of young people's minds.

He tells the BBC's HRH The Duke of Edinburgh Remembered programme: "My lasting impression will be of somebody who was a phenomenally broad-skilled man. He was very capable at everything he did.

"He was very good at mixing people, introducing people... he was very influential at gathering high-calibre people then setting about a task to ensure the right outcome was delivered."

Rolling Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger said he was "very saddened" to hear of the death of the Duke of Edinburgh.

"Alongside his extensive charitable work he was a very active patron of many of the sports organisations my father worked for & helped so many young sports men and women," he said in a tweet, external.

"He will be fondly remembered."

The Duke of Edinburgh had a natural ability to "relax people around him", the comedian and broadcaster, Sir Michael Palin, has recalled.

He told BBC News: "He was very good company. He knew how to relax people around him.

"I've been with him on many occasions where the people about to meet him are totally terrified at meeting a member of the Royal Family and he disarmed them extremely well, either by being interested in what they were doing but, more particularly through a joke or a bit of humour.

"He always had a little twinkle in the eye whenever I met him and a touch of mischief."

The reason for this exception is that the Royal Standard represents the monarchy - which never dies.

The official Royal Family website explains, external: "Unlike the Union flag, the Royal Standard is never flown at half-mast, even after the death of a monarch, as there is always a sovereign on the throne."

The Archbishop of Canterbury has paid tribute to the "remarkable life" of the Duke of Edinburgh.

He told the BBC that Prince Philip had an "extraordinary prophetic gift".

“In so many areas [he was] whole decades ahead - a quarter of a century, half a century ahead – on issues like conservation, issues like climate change, interfaith dialogue, motivation for young people," he said.

The archbishop also recalled how then duke kept him "on his toes" when he preached in front of him.

"You knew that one of the most interesting bits of preaching when he was present was the questions you'd get from him afterwards, which showed that he paid intense attention," he said.

“And he would push back and question and examine, in a way that wasn't intimidating, but really had you on your toes. This was a man who thought profoundly about his faith. And it was a very deep faith, a very solid faith.”
