Prince George is celebrating his eighth birthday today.

A new photograph, taken by his mother, the Duchess of Cambridge, has been released to mark the special occasion.

The picture shows the young prince wearing a stripy polo top and sitting on a Land Rover Defender - a car that his great-grandfather, the Duke of Edinburgh was a big fan of.

Many people think that this photo is a special tribute to him, as well as a celebration of George's birthday.
