Queen Visits HMS Ocean in Rededication Ceremony
Her Majesty the Queen, the sponsor of HMS Ocean, has been visiting Devonport Naval Base today for a ceremony to rededicate the helicopter carrier.
Her Majesty's arrival was announced with a 21-gun salute before she moved on to inspect members of the ship's company.
The visit was part of a ceremony to mark the return of HMS Ocean to operational duties following a £65 million refit.
We caught up with members of the ship's company as they prepared for the royal visit.
Our cameramen were there, meanwhile, to get the best spot for Her Majesty's arrival, and in the process also captured this morning's partial solar eclipse. See the video below for some of the raw footage:
Kate Wathall, meanwhile, has been taking a look at the recent history of HMS Ocean.
