Prince Philip spends night in hospital 'as precaution'

The Duke of Edinburgh has spent the night in hospital as a "precautionary measure", after the recurrence of a bladder infection.
Prince Philip, 91, was taken by ambulance to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary on Wednesday from Balmoral, where he had been staying with the Queen.

He had the original infection in June, and had been seen in public as recently as the morning of his latest setback.
The duke is likely to remain in the NHS hospital for the next few days.
Michael Dunkason, from Ryde, Isle of Wight, saw him on Wednesday morning in Cowes, where he had been attending public engagements.
