Antique dealer Charles Wallrock of Wick Antiques spotted the album which shows pictures of the Duke of Edinburgh aboard the Royal Yacht Britannia, at a recent sale. Put together by an office photographer for himself, it follows the four month journey taking in Singapore, Hong Kong and a number of South Pacific Islands.
