42 Gun Salute

HMS Portland in Torbay tonight. Earlier she carried out a 42 gun salute for the Jubilee.
In the light she does not look battleship grey. We went to the beacon lighting at Berry Head, carried out by our civic mayor, and her guide dog, assisted by a man in a high vis jacket and plenty of water in case of an incident. We were early so on the way toasted the Queen in the Livermead Cliff Hotel, where this was more or less the view.
