But we also honour and celebrate his life in his own right: his support for numerous charities, his support and encouragement of young people, his sporting and intellectual accomplishments, his championing of science and technology, his military service—a World War II veteran—and his support of the armed forces. He leaves an outstanding legacy to the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth, and, indeed, the world. He was involved in many charities in his lifetime, being associated with more than 800 charitable organisations. He was, in amongst all of that, a champion of the environment, a champion of wildlife, a champion for youth. And, as we've heard, the Duke of Edinburgh award is an amazing award scheme that helps many young people find their way through to a better life.
