The tribute also honoured Philip’s family life, from his relationship with the Queen to the relationship he shared with their children and great-grandchildren.
The video included throwback images of the Queen and Philip with their children, Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward.
It then showed a family picture of the monarch and Philip with their great-grandchildren.
The touching video ended with a photo of the Queen and Prince Philip in their older years.
Finally, a photo of Philip taking his hat off ended the montage.
Prince Philip poem
As the images were shown, a poem called The Patriarchs – An Elegy was played over the top by Poet Laureate Simon Armitage.
The post was captioned: “Remembering His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh on the first anniversary of his death.”
The actual poem read: “The weather in the window this morning is snow, unseasonal singular flakes, a slow winter’s final shiver.
“On such an occasion to presume to eulogise one man is to pipe up for a whole generation – that crew whose survival was always the stuff of minor miracle.”
It also mentioned “husbands to duty, they unrolled their plans across billiard tables and vehicle bonnets, regrouped at breakfast”.
The poem added: “Great-grandfathers from birth, in time they became both inner core and outer case in a family heirloom of nesting dolls.”
The emotional poem concluded: “Last of the great avuncular magicians they kept their best tricks for the grand finale: Disproving Immortality and Disappearing Entirely.
“The major oaks in the wood start tuning up and skies to come will deliver their tributes.
“But for now, a cold April’s closing moments parachute slowly home, so by mid-afternoon snow is recast as seed heads and thistledown.”
