From the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award to Accrington Camera Club: Prince Philip’s lasting legacy

The Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme remains one of the Duke's most enduring legacies. Its participants - mainly schoolchildren - take part in outdoor expeditions, learn new practical skills and volunteer in their communities. (Subscribe: https://bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe) Since being founded in 1956, the scheme has seen over three million participants achieve awards in the UK. In the year to March 2020, over a quarter of 14 year olds in the UK started a Bronze Duke of Edinburgh award. Globally, over a million young people in more than 130 countries are currently involved in its programmes. But it's not just the DofE scheme. Accrington Camera Club - which back in 1977, wrote him a letter on spec when they wanted funding to mark the Silver Jubilee. To their huge surprise, a van turned up from Buckingham Palace with some of the Duke's own photos. We’re joined by Paralympian wheelchair sprinter Hannah Cockroft, who credits taking part in the scheme with her success in later life. ----------------------- Follow us on Instagram -   / channel4news
