Sarah, Duchess of York has been absent from her Instagram and YouTube channel since news of the Duke's death broke. The mother-of-two has no doubt been a major support for her two daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, and her former husband Prince Andrew during the royals' period of mourning.

Alongside a photograph of Philip, the new mum wrote: "Dearest Grandpa,⁣ We all miss you. ⁣You would be so touched by all the tributes that have been shared with me the past few days. ⁣

"People remember sitting next to you at a dinner, or shaking your hand once, who remember you saying hello in passing, or remember how much their DofE award meant to them. ⁣

"I remember learning how to cook, how to paint, what to read. I remember laughing at your jokes and asking about your spectacular life and service in the navy. ⁣

"I remember incinerating the sausages and you swooping in to save the day.⁣ I remember your hands and your laugh and your favourite beer. ⁣I will remember you in your children, your grandchildren and great-grandchildren. ⁣

"Thank you for your dedication and love for us all and especially Granny, who we will look after for you. ⁣With all my love ⁣Eugenie."
