Watch HMS Prince of Wales's journey into Liverpool

A time-lapse video has captured the arrival in Liverpool of the Royal Navy's new flagship.

Cameras mounted on the bridge of HMS Prince of Wales filmed the ship's journey up the Mersey.

It arrived in Liverpool on 1 December, a day ahead of schedule, due to weather conditions.

The commanding officer, Captain Will Blackett, said: "This is a proud moment for HMS Prince of Wales."

He added: "We've been training hard, ably assisted by our sister ship HMS Queen Elizabeth.

"We're ready, we're excited, and look forward to taking the next step in the ship's life."
