What a week for the Web Team ! Firstly an apology to everyone that was on line on Wed 21 Oct when the web site ground to a halt. We knew it was going to be a heavy day on the website with all the events going on around the country - but we had underestimated just how heavy it was going to be!
Just in case you missed it - HMS ILLUSTRIOUS arrived in Liverpool for a 5 day high profile visit to celebrate Fly Navy 100; DEFENDER - the 5th of the T45 Destroyers - was launched in Barrow; it was Trafalgar Day so there was a service in St Pauls Cathedral and various dinners and parades took place throughout the country; and Princess Ann was visiting both HMS SULTAN and Portsmouth Historic Dockyard ! Phew ! All the events were a complete and resounding success - and to find out more take a peek at the stories published on the new pages (RN Live).
