I am a Bronze Award holder, my son Tiago has a Gold Award and my daughter Carolina is in the final stages of a Silver Award.

The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme has inspired a family: two generations. Encouraging us and developing our confidence. An invaluable experience.

HRH Prince Philip has been an inspiration, and through his memory, and his example he continues to inspire us.

We would like to thank his wonderful family and all those involved in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. Long may it continue.
