Tributes are flooding in from across the globe following the death of Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh at the age of 99.

In an announcement earlier today, Buckingham Palace said: "It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

"His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle."

The Queen and Duke made a number of visits to Doncaster over the years, visiting places such as the Mansion House, Doncaster Racecourse and RAF Finningley, while also visiting factories, community projects and meeting many locals and civic dignataries over the years.

And one of the Prince’s most unexpected visits came in 2014 when he popped in to a Little Chef just north of Doncaster on the A1 at Carcroft on his way to a private engagement.

Prince Philip and his entourage didn't order food - just a round of hot drinks.

We’ve delved into the archives to remember some of those Royal visits over the years.
