HM Royal Marines Band play South Queensferry for Jutland 100th Anniversary - 8 off 8

Hundreds of people have gathered to mark the centenary of the largest naval battle of World War One in Rosyth and South Queensferry.

The events began a weekend of commemoration leading up to the anniversary on 31 May and 1 June.

More than 6,000 Britons and 2,500 Germans died in the 36-hour Battle of Jutland, involving about 250 ships.

Princess Anne joined First Minister Nicola Sturgeon for a service at a war graves cemetery in Rosyth.

HMS Kent has weighed anchor at South Queensferry before heading to Orkney for further commemorations.

Jutland, fought in the North Sea off the coast of Denmark, was the only major naval battle of the 1914-18 war.
