Following 25 years service HMS Pembroke made her final port visit to Kirkwall in the Orkney Islands last week (pictured).

She quietly entered Rosyth flying her paying-off pennant this week.
Of the original 15 ships, there are now just 2 Sandown class minehunters left in the RN (Penzance & Bangor).
