The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (born Prince Philippos of Greece and Denmark; born 10 June 1921) is seen driving a carriage at the Lowther Show in Cumbria. Enjoying his favourite pastime of carriage racing he looks relaxed and happy to be able to enjoy this sport of the socially privileged. Holding the reins and about to put another glove on his hand, the Duke is dressed in tweed and wears a tie and hat that has a horse badge on the front. The Duke was also a Polo player in his youth and adult life; though he eventually gave up the sport due to age but carried on competing in carriage driving, a sport which he helped expand, and for which he wrote the early rule book
