Happy Birthday, Prince Philip!

The Duke of Edinburgh is celebrating his 90th birthday today. He was honoured with a 62-gun salute at the Tower of London at 1pm. The formal marking of his 90th birthday will be a service of thanksgiving at Saint George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, attended by the royal family, with a reception to follow. A special commemorative coin has also been produced. As a youth, the prince was “very boyish, but great fun, always great fun and very kind,” his cousin Lady Myra Butter said. ”He hasn’t really changed much as a person at all, I don’t think. He just gets on with it. That’s his motto. Just get on with it.”
