Queen Elizabeth II's husband has died aged 99, Buckingham Palace has announced.

Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth II's husband, has died aged 99, Buckingham Palace has announced. In a statement shortly after midday, the palace said: "His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle." 

The Duke of Edinburgh, who was the longest-serving consort in British history, had returned to Windsor Castle on 16 March after a month in hospital. 

We look back at his lifetime of service to the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth and at his role as consort to Queen Elisabeth. We also bring voices from around the world to reflect on Prince Philip's life and passions.
