The Queen Elizabeth II and HRH Prince Philip have had an astonishing life together and have dedicated their lives to the duty of monarchy. The couple first met at the Royal Naval College in Dartmouth in 1939 when the Queen was just 13- years-old, and began exchanging letters before eventually becoming formally engaged in 1947, following the Queen's 21st birthday. The royal pair married later in the same year and in November this year will celebrate their Platinum Wedding anniversary. It had been almost a year since the Queen was crowned when a photograph of her and HRH Prince Philip was taken at the 1954 Goodwood Races. Prince Philip had been away for three weeks in Canada serving in the RAF after he had learnt to fly the previous year so they Royal couple were happy to be reunited.

Together they watched the Queen's horse win the first race!
