Earlier this evening Her Majesty The Queen boarded the Royal Yacht Britannia at Portsmouth in preparation for tomorrow's Silver Jubilee
Review of the Fleet.
We see her arrival, part of the Royal Marine ceremony of Beating Retreat, the evening colours ceremony aboard Ark Royal, Britain's largest warship and, live, the moment at ten o'clock when the floodlighting is switched on aboard the waiting ships at anchor.
