His Royal Highness the Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, salutes after stepping ashore at a Royal Navy Station in Malta. Philip had just disembarked from a Royal Naval landing craft after spending the day aboard the aircraft carrier HMS Theseus; with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II he was on a tour of the Commonwealth. He was welcomed by personnel from HMS Falcon and some members of 78 Fighter Wing RAAF, which was stationed at Ta'Kali.
