Prince William has issued a touching tribute following the death of his grandfather.
His words were accompanied by a picture of his son Prince George with the Duke Of Edinburgh in one of his carriages.
He talked about his grandfather's "kindness" and said he felt lucky to have his guidance through the good times and the "hardest of days".
The Duke of Edinburgh walked with William and his brother Harry as they followed their mother's coffin at her funeral in 1997.
William said: "My grandfather’s century of life was defined by service – to his country and Commonwealth, to his wife and Queen, and to our family.
I feel lucky to have not just had his example to guide me, but his enduring presence well into my own adult life – both through good times and the hardest days.
" I will always be grateful that my wife had so many years to get to know my grandfather and for the kindness he showed her. I will never take for granted the special memories my children will always have of their great-grandpa coming to collect them in his carriage and seeing for themselves his infectious sense of adventure as well as his mischievous sense of humour!
"My grandfather was an extraordinary man and part of an extraordinary generation. Catherine and I will continue to do what he would have wanted and will support The Queen in the years ahead. I will miss my Grandpa, but I know he would want us to get on with the job."
