HMS Richmond has tweeted images of her crew enjoying some Christmas festivities on board during their passage home.

The Royal Navy's Type 23 frigate and the Carrier Strike Group (CSG21) deployment are approaching the final days of their deployment.

RFA Tidespring was the first of the CSG21 ships to return to Britain, sailing into Portland, Dorset, last week after more than seven months deployed.
