Prince Philip, husband of Queen Elizabeth, has returned home after undergoing emergency surgery over the Christmas holidays.

Philip was airlifted to the hospital after he complained of chest pains. After arriving, doctors performed emergency surgery to insert a coronary stent and relieve a blocked artery.

After four days of treatment, Philip was released from Papworth Hospital in Cambridge to begin his trek home to Sandringham House in Norfolk, England. He waved to bystanders as he pulled away from the medical center.

“On departure, Prince Philip thanked the staff at Papworth for the excellent care he has received during his stay,” a Buckingham Palace spokesperson told reporters. “He is very much looking forward to rejoining his family.”
