Prince Philip’s love of carriage driving to be remembered at funeral

Polished dark green carriage that he rode in his 90s will be on procession route at Windsor Castle

Right into his 90s, the Duke of Edinburgh continued to drive his team of fell ponies around the royal estates from the box seat of a carriage he designed himself.

He took up the sport of carriage driving in his 50s when what he called his dodgy" arthritic wrist forced him to give up polo playing, and continued competing into his 80s. In more recent years he could still be seen driving, reins in hand, just for fun.
