TO GO WITH AFP STORY "Vanuatu-Britain-religion-royals,FEATURE" by Madeleine Coorey Sikor Natuan, the son of the local chief, holds two official portraits (one holding a pig-killing club, L) of Britain's Prince Philip in front of the chief's hut in the remote village of Yaohnanen on Tanna in Vanuatu on August 6, 2010. In his remote village in Vanuatu, tribesman Sikor Natuan cradles a faded portrait of Britain's Prince Philip against his naked and tattooed chest. Natuan, who just weeks before danced and feasted to mark the royal's 89th birthday, is already preparing for next year's celebrations -- and he is expecting the guest of honour to attend, despite his advanced age. For in the South Pacific village of Yaohnanen on Vanuatu's Tanna island, where men wear nothing but grass penis sheaths, and marijuana and tobacco grow wild, Prince Philip is worshipped as a god.
