The 65,000 tonne lead ship of the Royal Navy's newest class of aircraft carriers, HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH, arrived in Halifax on Thursday.
I was extremely privileged to be flown out to the carrier in a Royal Navy Merlin helicopter with other media for a tour of the ship, to interview senior RN personnel, and to ride the ship into the harbour.
I'm still working on the images, but for a sneak peak you can follow this
