The world continues to pay tribute today following the death of Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, aged 99.

Gun salutes to mark Philip's death took place across the UK, in Gibraltar and from Royal Navy warships from midday.

They were used to mark the deaths of Queen Victoria in 1901 and Winston Churchill in 1965.

Pictures of the duke feature on newspapers across the globe on Saturday, with many reflecting on the service he provided during his lifetime.

As tributes continue to pour in, tune in live to LBC's special coverage. Listen live on Global Player.
