At 08.30 this morning HMS Liverpool, a Type 42 Destroyer, sailed past the iron men on her way into Liverpool for a four day visit to the city, her first for three years. It was a quiet, calm morning at the beach, tide on the way out and not much wind. The crew were lined up on the deck of the ship, I can imagine them standing to attention just as the iron men appear to be doing in the image above.
The sun was just catching the distant Welsh Hills, the lower slopes wreathed in cloud rising from the Conway valley as HMS Liverpool moved swiftly on up the Mersey towards her mooring at the cruise liner terminal.
