Observation Note the Navigation & Working Lights (upper & lower masthead lights; port & stbd lights; & red light above stbd side light & between stbd upper & lower hardarms) - all switched off seeming coincidental with the first line having been passed (even before properly secured alongside)

What a beautiful sight on a winter’s night…

Traffic over London’s most famous crossing was halted briefly as the spans of Tower Bridge raised to allow HMS Tyne to pass and berth in the Pool of London alongside HMS Belfast.
