If you listen to the national news you would know that HMS Illustrious was due to sail out of Portsmouth Harbour this morning.
The former aircraft carrier set sail for Turkey after being sold for £2,000,000 to a ship recycling company.
Her replacement, HMS Queen Elizabeth, will be coming into Portsmouth in 2017. More on that nearer the time.
