The Duke of Edinburgh cosied up to his beloved dogs in four new photographs released by Buckingham Palace to mark the prince's 60th birthday.
In the images, Prince Edward wears a red jumper underneath a dark buttoned waistcoat, and smiles with his three dogs: Labrador Teal, cocker spaniel Mole and Labrador puppy Teasel.
The King's brother, the youngest child of the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, will celebrate his 60th birthday on Sunday.
The duke carried out a series of engagements with the Duchess of Edinburgh earlier this week, ahead of the milestone birthday.
He was presented with a Leeds Rhinos rugby shirt with 'HRH 60' on the back to mark the date, during a visit to Headingley Stadium in Leeds on Friday.

Prince Edward noticed the detail on the back and said to his wife: 'Yours is more subtle than mine.'
He told the young players: 'Thanks a bunch. I really need to be reminded.'
Sophie then paid a tearful tribute to Edward at the end of the Community Sport and Recreation
