Stories From HMS Belfast

HMS Belfast, the first Royal Navy ship to be named after Northern Ireland's capital city, played a crucial role in the D-Day landings.

She was launched on St Patrick's Day in 1938 and eventually decommissioned in 1963, and is now permanently moored on the River Thames in London.

Forces TV's Julie Knox went to meet some of the veterans of the historic ship.
