Party time on Portland


YOU wait all year for a bit of a party…
…and then there are three in a week.
One Royal Wedding (which actually involved quite a few parties), one freedom parade and one tenth birthday.
All in four busy days for HMS Portland in her namesake port as she returned to sea after a spot of TLC.
The frigate spent an eventful long weekend in Dorset – chiefly to renew bonds with locals after two years of hectic operations, and march through the streets of Weymouth, the warship’s affiliated borough.
The visit coincided with the Royal Wedding (Friday) and the ship’s tenth birthday (yesterday) – both causes for celebration.
