Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales returns home to emotional scenes

More than 2,000 families and friends have lined the jetty to welcome home loved ones aboard Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales, as it returned from a three-month deployment to the US. The £3 billion warship carried out flight trials with the US Marine Corps and F-35B stealth fighter jets.

The carrier returned to Portsmouth Naval Base where about 2,600 people waited at the jetty, many waving flags and holding banners as they welcomed the crew home. The ship's commanding officer, Captain Richard Hewitt, from Kingsbridge, Devon, was met by his wife Clara and sons Ben, two, William, eight, and Oliver, 10.
