The Duke of Edinburgh attends the World Wheelchair Curling Championships

The Duke of Edinburgh attended the World Wheelchair Curling Championships in Scotland this week.

As Patron of the British Paralympic Association, His Royal Highness met with athletes and coaches from Team England and Team Scotland, before watching them in action.

The Duke has supported the British Paralympic Association since visiting the Paralympic Games in Barcelona in 1992. Since becoming Royal Patron in November 2003, His Royal Highness regularly attends the Paralympic Games to support Team GB. 

During the visit, His Royal Highness even took to the ice, alongside Scottish Curling Coach and Olympic Silver Medallist Scott Andrews, and threw a curling stone to the eight-foot with a curling cue!
