Last night the British Academy Film Awards took place.
The night started with a tribute to HRH Prince Philip, who was the BAFTA's first president from 1959 and 1966.
It was said by one host of the evening, Prince Philip "occupies a very special place in BAFTA's history, and our thoughts are with the Royal Family".
The night was not as glamorous and as it usually would be with winners and nominees appearing via video link.
