HMS Diamond 6th May

Very busy evening at the Portsmouth NavalBase Boathouse/Action stations with the commissioning ball of the Type 45 destroyer HMS Diamond. The 500+ guests were entertained by an excellent band and DJ and an impressive ice diamond sculpture/vodka luge - pictures below:

Evening didn't finish too well - dropped a heavy bench on my foot and looking at the multi-coloured mess this morning and an inability to wiggle my toe I've done some damage...........bit like a seventies sitcom but even more painful ! Probably step on a garden rake next...
