The news of Prince Philip's death has dominated the front pages of world newspapers.

The Duke of Edinburgh's death at Windsor Castle was announced late Friday night (NZT) and has sent Britain, and much of the Commonwealth, into a period of mourning ahead of his funeral next weekend.

The announcement at midday local time left several hours until the front pages of British newspapers were published.
