Day the military vessels will leave Liverpool and sail down River Mersey

Thousands of people have been taking part in this weekend's special commemorative events.

This weekend, the city is marking the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Atlantic with a programme of events. From the Princess Royal unveiling a new memorial and garden of reflection to outdoor performances and special visits on board participating vessels, there has been much to see and do at the Pier Head.

On Sunday, May 28, a Drumhead service of thanksgiving was held at the Pier Head followed by the March for the Medals. Crowds then gathered on the waterfront on Sunday afternoon to see the conclusion of the commemorative events.
