Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex, has delivered personal thanks to holders and participants of The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, and the International Award, for sharing their memories of his late father.
Prince Philip's son said: "Reading just some of the wonderful memories you have shared about your experiences of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and, in some cases, of meeting my father, has been truly uplifting.
"I think I may have said once that he was a man that once met, never forgotten.
"He had a unique ability to make a lasting impression in a remarkably short time. I, like all my family, have a lifetime of lasting impressions, inspiration, shared passions and love.
"He may have departed this world, but his spirit and ethos lives on through his Award, through each and every life touched, transformed, inspired; then, now and in the future.
"Thank you one and all for helping to create such an extraordinary tribute."
