Over six decades the Duke of Edinburgh travelled to a staggering 143 countries representing Britain and accompanying the Queen.
He made 637 visits, including 229 to 67 Commonwealth countries, and 408 visits to 76 other countries.
The Duke even went to Antarctica, without the Queen, in the 1950s. He used the Royal Yacht Britannia to visit scientists at a remote and freezing outpost on Deception Island.
He was a Freeman of cities including Acapulco, Bridgetown, Barbados, Dar-es-Salaam, Guadalajara, Los Angeles, Nairobi and Melbourne.

His time as consort to a monarch began on foreign soil in 1952.
The Queen and Duke were at the Treetops Hotel, in Aberdare National Park in Kenya when they learned that her father King George VI had died.
Since then the Duke passed through a dizzying number of airports, ports and train stations on royal tours.

He also picked up a wide variety of gifts, including two pygmy hippopotamuses from a Liberian president, and a giant porcelain grasshopper from France.
In 1953 he and the Queen covered tens of thousands of miles in all manner of transport visiting a dozen countries on a tour of the Commonwealth.
Their stops included Bermuda, Jamaica, Fiji, New Zealand and Australia.

In Tonga they were greeted by Queen Salote, who had been at the Coronation.
Now faded black and white photographs show the Duke taking a keen interest in the royal tortoise, Tu'i Malila, which was said to have been brought there by Captain Cook.
He is seen bending double and peering at the tortoise's face.

Four years later the Duke took Britannia, without the Queen, into the Antarctic Circle. He held a reception on board for scientists, showing them the film "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers".
He was pictured feeding penguins and the visit is thought to have led to his lifelong interest in birdwatching. He also stopped in at the the Falkland Islands.

That year the royal couple also received a huge welcome in Chicago.
In 1961 they took a tour of the canals of Venice on a state visit to Italy.
But in the same year there was controversy when he the Duke was photographed with a dead tiger in India following a hunt.

Three years later he was with the Queen as she became the first reigning British monarch to visit South America.
The Duke met Pele and attended a football match at the 100,000-seater Maracanã Stadium, and was entertained by a performance of 1,000 samba dancers.
Three years later, on a 25,000-mile tour of south-east Asia and the Indian Ocean, there was Thai dancing in Bangkok and elephant logging in Chiang Mai.
A sacred elephant threw a tantum and sat on a police car and had to be returned to its zoo.
In 1976 the Duke dined on smoked reindeer at a state banquet in Finland.
And three years after that he was treated to a Bedouin lunch by the Emir of Qatar, and a falconry demonstration in Bahrain.

On Tuvalu in 1982 he was carried overhead by islanders in a gold and turquoise canoe.

The 1980s also saw a trip to Hollywood where the Duke seemed very engaged chatting with Frank Sinatra.

In 1994 he stayed with the Queen in the state apartments of the Kremlin, meeting Boris Yeltsin, and visiting Red Square.
His travels continued all the way until the Queen's last state visit to Malta in late 2015 for a Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting.
It was an emotional return trip for the royal couple.
They had spent two years living at the Villa Guardamangia in Valletta, when the Duke was based there with the Royal Navy early in their marriage.
One place the Duke never revisited was Greece, the country of his birth.
He once said: "I certainly never felt nostalgic about Greece. A grandfather assassinated and a father condemned to death does not endear me to the perpetrators."
