Hats off to Duke of Edinburgh Prince Philip, who turns 97 on Sunday.

The Duke of Edinburgh Prince Philip turns 97 on Sunday after retiring from public life at the age of 95 last year.

While he no longer carries out public engagements - and doesn't accept new invitations - he made an appearance at the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in May.

However, Philip has had quite the life in the public eye, so it's little wonder he has decided to put his feet up more often as he approaches his centenary on Earth.

From a career in the Royal Navy to his life standing by the side of wife Queen Elizabeth II and being a figurehead for organisations like the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), he has truly lived a full life.

Scroll down for a look at the incredible life of Prince Philip.
