Lord Newby, leader of the Liberal Democrats in the House of Lords, notes Prince Philips's "typical frankness" when he said that throughout royal life he had just tried to do his best and if some people did not like it they could "lump it".

The prince was a "loyal, steadfast and supportive consort to his wife" says Lord Newby even though "it can't have been easy".

He says when people look back at his life they will see how much the Royal Family was sustained by the extremely close partnership between Prince Philip and the Queen.

His unique gift was making all those to whom he spoke feel special and valued, he says.

Each generation has different memories of the "extraordinary life" of the duke, says Baroness Smith, Labour's leader in the Lords.

She pays tribute to his support of and "unfailing loyalty" to the Queen.

She highlights Prince Philip's unusual childhood, his successful naval career and his passion for innovation - including his determination to have the Queen's coronation broadcast live across the world.

"I have my own memories" of the prince, she says, which she will remember "with a smile".

Beside the national conversation about his life, she says, "the great loss is of a much-loved husband."

Baroness Smith ends her speech by sending her condolences to the Queen and the rest of the Royal Family.

Baroness Evans, the leader of the House of Lords moves the motion for the humble address.

She says the whole House sends its "heartfelt sympathy" to the Queen on the death of Prince Philip.

He will be remembered for his distinguished naval service and his "energy and commitment across so many areas of national life" she says.

Prince Philip's main achievement she notes is probably the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme which she says has "transformed the lives of millions of people around the word".

The session in the House of Lords begins with a one minute silence.

Lords Speaker Lord Norman Fowler then opens the tributes by praising the "patience and constancy" of the relationship between Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip.

"Philip's visible presence alongside the Queen provides a glimpse into the unique role he played in private, supporting her majesty and serving the crown humbly," he says.

"Today we give thanks to the sacrifice he made.

"His legacy will live on as will our sincere gratitude."

Deputy leader of the SDLP, Nichola Mallon, begins her tribute to Prince Philip by noting that he was married to Queen Elizabeth II for 73 years.

“To wake up without your steadfast companion for that period of time, must be heartbreaking and for many of us must be unimaginable,” she says.

"Prince Philip was a complex individual, shaped by loss in early childhood who refused to be pigeonholed or put in a box,” says the North Belfast MLA.

Ms Mallon recalls meeting the Duke of Edinburgh in 2014 while she was Lord Mayor of Belfast, adding it was a “friendly, warm and a very memorable occasion”.

The House of Lords is starting its week with tributes to Prince Philip at 13:00 BST (12:00 GMT).

Peers are paying their respects with a humble address to the Queen, beginning with their "heartfelt sympathy" for her loss.

"Prince Philip gave selfless public service to the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth for over seventy years," the address adds.

"He will be remembered for his distinguished naval service in the Second World War and, following marriage to your majesty, for his energy and commitment across so many areas of national life, including conservation, science and technology, design, sport and your Armed Forces."

The peers praise his "major achievement" in creating the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, but add: "Above all his role at the side of your majesty, supporting your life of service as our sovereign and encouraging the work of your family, has been a steadfast presence for us all."

Speakers on the motion include the leaders of the parties in the Lords, as well as the Archbishop of Canterbury - and we will bring you their tributes here.

Ms O’Neill recalls the meeting between former Sinn Féin leader Martin McGuinness and Queen Elizabeth along with her husband Prince Philip, in Belfast in 2012.

She says it "marked a very important step to reconciliation on this island and between our islands”.

The deputy first minister adds: “I acknowledge that the Queen, Prince Philip and their family were directly impacted by the conflict and regrettably endured sorrow and pain as a result of their personal loss and bereavement."

Michelle O’Neill, the Deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland, extends her “sincere condolences to the Queen and her family following the death of Prince Philip”.

Sinn Féin’s leader at Stormont says she acknowledges the sense of loss felt by those from a Unionist tradition and British identity - “those who cherish and those who value the Royal family”.

Mrs Foster says Prince Philip bore his duties as the Queen's husband with "dedication, humanity and humour".

The first minister says that his example demonstrates "how traditional values can shape a better world".

She notes that "proudly" Northern Ireland has the highest participation in the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme in the United Kingdom.

And she says Prince Philip "has truly had a life well lived to the full".

The first minister thanks Speaker Alex Maskey and the parties for their respectful attitude to the passing of Prince Philip.

First Minister Arlene Foster says the life of Prince Philip "was shaped by history consciously and unconsciously".

She reflects on how, as a child, he was taken under the wing of Lord Mountbatten "someone who he was robbed of of course later in life by a PIRA bomb".

Referring to the Duke of Edinburgh's service in the Royal Navy during WW2, Mrs Foster says he demonstrated "duty, loyalty and service".

As reflected in today's tributes, Prince Philip won widespread respect for his steadfast and constant support of the Queen.

It was a desperately difficult role for anyone, let alone a man who had been used to naval command and who held strong views on a wide range of subjects.

Yet it was that very strength of character that enabled him to discharge his responsibilities so effectively, and provide such wholehearted support to his wife in her role as Queen.

As male consort to a female sovereign, Prince Philip had no constitutional position. But no-one was closer to the monarchy, or of greater importance to the monarch, than he was.

From a troubled childhood in Greece to seven decades spent a step away from the British monarchy, read Prince Philip's extraordinary life story.

This is the sixth time Holyrood has been recalled in its short history but the first occasion MSPs have been brought back during an election campaign.

That is only possible because of special pandemic arrangements that mean parliament has not been formally stood down in the usual way and MSPs continue in their roles until 5 May.

There were similar tributes from Scottish party leaders when the Queen Mother died in 2002.

The Duke of Edinburgh was a regular visitor to Holyrood, attending the royal openings of each session with the Queen whose royal palace is next door to parliament.

Election campaigning has been suspended since Friday ahead of an important week in which postal voting begins. Labour has put back its manifesto launch by a week.

There was a more prolonged interruption to campaigning in the devolution referendum that set up the Scottish Parliament in 1997 following the death of Princess Diana.

Tributes to Prince Philip have now also begun in Northern Ireland.

"It is impossible to do justice to such a long and full life in just a few short minutes", says Alex Maskey.

The Speaker of the Northern Ireland Assembly talks about the wide reach of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award programme and the impact it has had on the lives of many young people.

“His priority was for opening the door for young people to participate, whatever their background, and the ability of the Duke of Edinburgh Award to reach disadvantaged young people is particularly to be admired,” adds the Sinn Féin speaker.

“None of us can appreciate the sense of loss that there must be after 73 years of marriage, love and steadfast support through an extraordinary life - there can be no truer example of the term life partner,” says Mr Maskey.

He expresses condolences on behalf of the assembly.

Plaid Cymru leader Adam Price sends his sympathy to the Royal Family from Wales.

He says: "It’s important to bear in mind as has already been noted in the midst of all the official mourning, we are taking here about a wife who has lost her husband with an incomprehensible void opening up after so many years together.

"In a year of so much loss, our silence here today is a mark of respect and commemoration to the Royal Family in their grief but it’s also a heart-rending symbol of loss as we grieve with all those who have lost loved ones during this most difficult of years."

Back to the Senedd and Caroline Jones, the leader of the Independent Alliance for Reform Group, says the Duke of Edinburgh has been "a shining beacon of public service".

"His Royal Highness devoted his life to his Queen and our nation," she says, adding Prince Philip was "a man committed to helping others above all else".

Liberal Democrat Member of the Senedd Kirsty Williams also pays tribute to work the Duke of Edinburgh carried out for young people.

She says his commitment to children and young people went beyond the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme.

He also supported literacy programmes across the world "developing public libraries recognising the importance of access to the written word in democratising knowledge".

Parliamentarians are not the only ones paying tribute to the life of Prince Philip today.

For decades, two villages on the Vanuatuan island of Tanna have revered the Duke of Edinburgh as a god-like spiritual figure.

A formal mourning period is now under way, and scores of tribespeople are gathering on Monday in a ceremony to remember the prince.

For the next few weeks, villagers will periodically meet to conduct rites for the duke, who is seen as a "recycled descendant of a very powerful spirit or god that lives on one of their mountains", says anthropologist Kirk Huffman, who has studied the tribes since the 1970s.
