TopFoto has a fabulous collection on Royalty and this week it's Prince Andrew, the Duke of York's 50th birthday.

Born on the 19th of February 1960, Prince Andrew, like many a Royal Prince, joined the armed services. He had a distinguished career in the Royal Navy where he saw active service in the Falklands campaign flying Sea King helicopters.

Now after retiring from the Navy he has taken up the role as roving ambassador for British industry, as well as keeping his golf handicap down to single figures.

We wish him a Happy Birthday.
