The Royal Family has shared the Queen's moving golden wedding tribute to Prince Philip a day after his death.
In a tweet, the Royal Family posted a picture of the couple and the quote from 1997, saying: "He has, quite simply, been my strength and stay all these years, and I, and his whole family, and this and many other countries, owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim, or we shall ever know."
The Royal Family shared a second Twitter post minutes later which shows Philip with the Queen at her coronation in 1953.
The tweet reads: "The Duke of Edinburgh swore to be Her Majesty's 'liege man of life and limb.'
"The Duke was a devoted consort (companion to the Sovereign) for almost 70 years, from Her Majesty's Accession in 1952 until his death."
