Visit to HMS Prince of Wales at Liverpool 1st March 2020

Paid a visit to the HMS Prince of Wales today and it was impressive, the public were only "allowed" into the hangar area/deck which was a shame but there was plenty to see and do! The whole event was very well organised considering 13K free tickets for the event went within an hour!! The weather was 100% better than the day she arrived.

HMS Prince of Wales will leave the Mersey on the 6th March and hopefully in the future we will get to see and visit her sister ship HMS Queen Elizabeth
