Hello! magazine has been closely examining the picture of Prince George with his great-grandfather Prince Philip.

The weekly publication believes that the book George is holding is a copy of Tractor Ted – All About Tractors.

According to its description on Amazon, readers can learn about “the various farm tasks involving tractors, see the implements that can be attached to tractors and take a look inside the farmer’s cab.

George’s parents the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge released the photograph earlier today when Prince William paid tribute to his grandfather as an “extraordinary man” with a mischievous sense of humour.

Green Party politicians have praised Prince Philip’s role in promoting nature conservation despite his love of hunting – which most environmental activists oppose.

Brighton MP Caroline Lucas told the Commons: “I am not for a moment trying to suggest that he was a card-carrying green activist, nor that his views on a wide range of issues concerning nature and animal protection, including hunting, align fully with today’s Green movement – they clearly do not.

“However, he was undoubtedly well ahead of his time when it came to understanding the importance of and our dependence on the natural world – and he played an important role in promoting that cause.”

Green Party peer Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb said a “big debt” was owed to Philip and other environmentalists of his generation for promoting nature conservation.

Lady Jones said he was “one of the pioneers who started to highlight the links between people and planet,” adding: “I’m very happy to give him credit for it.”

Scottish Greens co-leader Patrick Harvie said: “Those who come after will build on the legacy of what they’ve been left, but will also rethink, reinvent and alter course – they still owe much to those who went before, who may have lived by different values.”

He added: “Today’s environmental movement overwhelmingly places responsibility for the global crisis on the powerful, and would not seek to reconcile conservation with the blood sport of the wealthy, yet it is still the case that a debt is owed to those whose environmentalism did achieve global awareness, even if it was shaped by different values from today’s.”

More than 100 people wrote to the BBC over the weekend to complain that the corporation was making it too easy to complain about its coverage of Prince Philip’s death, according to documents seen by the Guardian.

The BBC had set up a dedicated page for viewers to register their displeasure at the schedule being ripped up on Friday evening after the news was announced.

The page was later removed.

Former children’s television presenter Baroness Benjamin said Prince Philip’s “dedication to duty has and always will be inspirational to millions across the world.”

The Liberal Democrat peer said: “It is beyond doubt that His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh has taken his place in the ranks of great and outstanding individuals who have made a great and gigantic contribution to Britain and the Commonwealth.

She said her meetings with the duke over the years were “unforgettable and are etched warmly on my memory”.

The baroness also told how they had kept up a correspondence over the years, including him writing to congratulate her on receiving her OBE and damehood.

“His letters were always full of humour and warmth and I will treasure them forever,” said Lady Benjamin.

Philip had also written to her following his car accident in early 2019, in which he told her: “I was hardly even on the road, I was just crossing from one side of the estate to the other side when it happened.”

Meanwhile in the Commons, Ian Paisley MP is still waiting to make his tribute to Prince Philip – after two attempts were aborted due to a loud echo effect on his audio link.

The Duke of Edinburgh is “remembered fondly” in Malta, having lived on the island with the Queen between 1949 and 1951.

The couple spent some of the early years of their marriage living at Villa Guardamangia, a palazzo-style residence on the outskirts of the capital Valletta.

Heritage Malta – the country’s national agency for museums, conservation practice and cultural heritage – is in the preliminary stages of restoring the mid-18th century building after acquiring it in June last year.

Kenneth Gambin, Heritage Malta‘s chief operating officer, said there was “a feeling of sadness” on the island after Philip’s death.

“He was remembered fondly, because everyone knew that Malta had a special place in his heart,” he told the PA news agency.

“People remain somewhat attached to him because they know that he remembered Malta fondly. He took every opportunity to come here again when he could.”

Alex Salmond, the leader of the new Alba party, has said he enjoyed his disagreements with Prince Philip over Scottish independence.

Speaking at a campaign event, the former first minister of Scotland said: “The Duke of Edinburgh – it won’t surprise anyone to know – was not one of the foremost advocates of Scottish independence I’ve ever met.

“But I found the disagreements enjoyable, he did as well.

“To me, at least, he seemed to enjoy nothing more than a good argument – and a forthright argument.

“One thing I know absolutely, he was a get-on-with-life sort of person – get on with it, no maudlin sentimentality.

“An extended mourning in the country would not have been to his liking, I can be absolutely certain about that.

“He would have wanted folk to get on with their lives, recognise and pay respects for a hugely long-standing public service.

“For the rest of us, his message would be absolutely, ‘get on with it’.”

The British Army has paid tribute with a film remembering his connections with several regiments and corps both in the UK and in the Commonwealth.

Prince Philip was made Field Marshal of the British Army in 1953, a rank he held until his death.

The Duke of Edinburgh was “full of charm” and had a “real affinity” to the Armed Forces throughout his life, the First Sea Lord has said.

Admiral Tony Radakin paid tribute to Philip today at Britannia Royal Naval College in Dartmouth, Devon.

Philip entered the college aged 17 as a special entry naval cadet for training in May 1939, following the footsteps of his paternal grandfather and uncles.

He was named best cadet on his course before beginning a career in the Royal Navy that saw him serve during the Second World War and reach the rank of commander.

The college is also the location of the officially recognised first meeting between the duke and the Queen in 1939.

Remembering his first meeting with the duke on HMS Leeds Castle in the Falklands, Admiral Radakin said: “He was full of charm, he was instantly comfortable in the surroundings of a ship.

“He was somebody who went down really well with the ship’s company, who was interested in them, who had a real affinity to us as sailors and wanted to learn what we were doing and how things were.

“I think that is a description of what his relationship with the Armed Forces was like all the way through his life.”

Princess Diana’s former butler Paul Burrell has popped up again to share his reminiscences of Prince Philip.

Speaking on TV show Lorraine, he said: “Everything within the house of Windsor was run by Prince Philip and she let him do that. That was his job. And his job was also to be the warm-up man and to be the funny side of their double act.”
