The Duke of Edinburgh has left hospital following a stay of a month.
Philip underwent heart surgery on March 3 just three months before his 100th birthday.
Police blocked access for vehicles to the private King Edward VII’s Hospital in central London, where the Duke of Edinburgh had been recovering from a heart procedure, as four officers arrived on motorcycles to join a dozen at the entrance.
Philip, the nation’s longest-serving consort, was admitted to the hospital on February 16, and two weeks later was moved to St Bartholomew’s Hospital in the City of London for a medical procedure for a pre-existing heart condition.
The Duke had spent 28 nights as an in-patient – his longest ever stay.
Hospital staff set up a white, folding screen next to a black BMW at the rear of the private King Edward VII’s Hospital in London.
