The Queen visits Plymouth for
 H.M.S. Ocean's decommissioning Roger Winnen

Photographs by David Tozer Barry Jones and Roger Winnen
At 10.50 this morning the Royal Train pulled into platform 4 at Plymouth Station with Her Majesty on board to witness the decommissioning of H.M.S. Ocean prior to being sold to the Brazilian Navy.
The train was then stabled in this platform for the duration of her visit. Platforms 3 for Gunnislake was also closed for all trains which resulted that Platform 5 to 8 was used for all services.
A large number of school children were in attendance with their waving of the Union Jack together with the Civic Dignitaries of Plymouth
