Our friends from EMI Archive Trust have given SOTH this exclusive picture of The Duke of Edinburgh recording during his visit to Abbey Road Studios.
Here is a selection of his most notable quotes as he offers his own unique advice to people all over the world.
On approaching his 90th birthday: “Bits are beginning to drop off”.
To Elton John: “Oh it’s you that owns that ghastly car is it? We often see it when driving to Windsor Castle.”
“Well, you’ll never fly in it, you’re too fat to be an astronaut.”
– to a 13-year-old whilst visiting a space shuttle.
“If it doesn’t fart or eat hay then she isn’t interested”
– speaking about his daughter, Princess Anne.
To all our SOTH readers get out the bunting and enjoy your jubilations!!!
