At Gordonstoun School in Scotland before World War 2, the late Duke of Edinburgh sailed to Norway as a 'cook and lamp-trimmer' aboard the school's vessel. With war looming, he left to join the Royal Navy and served with distinction aboard several warships and, when peace came, rose in the service to command of the frigate Magpie based in Malta. In this tribute to Prince Philip's lifelong military connections, Jonny Dymond explores his devotion to the sea, to the service and to his fellow officers and men. With the words of former First Sea Lord, Admiral Lord West, and the Commandant General of the Royal Marines, Major-General Charlie Stickland, we tell the story of a life devoted to serving Britain through her armed forces, on land, in the air and - the late Prince Philip's greatest love - on the sea.
