Washington [US], April 10 (ANI): Queen Elizabeth marked the first anniversary of her husband Prince Philip's death with an overwhelming tribute.

April 9 marked one year since the ' Duke of Edinburgh' Prince Philip passed away at the age of 99, after being married to the Queen for 73 years. "To study their hands at rest was to picture maps showing hachured valleys and indigo streams, schemes of old campaigns and reconnaissance missions. 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, who came ashore in orange-crate coracles, fought ingenious wars, finagled triumphs at sea with flaming decoy boats, and side-stepped torpedoes."

Many of the youngsters in the family, such as Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis use their parents' 'Cambridge' title as their surname.

At the time, Philip reportedly said: "I am nothing but a bloody amoeba. Their cousins Archie and Lilibet use the royal family's 'official' last name - Mountbatten-Windsor.

In the end, the Queen decided to support her family's views and the name Windsor was used. However, when Elizabeth went on to become Queen in 1952, she had to confirm the official surname of the Royal Family and many wanted her to continue using Windsor, instead of changing it to Mountbatten.
