In addition to the attached photo from Tim taken this evening:

BERNIE BRISTOLL AND HMS BELFAST GO BACK A LONG WAY

Bernie can’t help it, he even translates number plates into dots and dashes as he waits to cross the road.
He first served on board as a Leading Radio Operator, translating complex messages into Morse code during her peace keeping missions in the 1960s.
He returned decades later, and comes aboard every Friday. This time round, he's educating visitors, telling them stories about life at sea and teaching them the basics of Morse code.
"As I come on board, you get that feeling…the smell of the ship, it’s beautiful, it brings back the old memories”
