Royal family bids farewell to Britannia
London reports the royal farewell to the royal yacht Britannia at Portsmouth as the vessel is decommissioned after seven decades and over a million sea miles. The Queen, Duke of Edinburgh, and four children attended the ceremony, praising Britannia for service to the country and navy. The yacht will be moored nearby with possible final berthing in Manchester Ship Canal or Leith, Edinburgh. Personal artifacts will likely be removed before public display.
