HMS Belfast

Lovely day for a stroll along the Thames today, until the shower came! Luckily I managed to dodge in to a coffee shop at Borough Market for a latte, emerging just in time to capture this reflection of HMS Belfast in a pool of water on the paving stones.
------
HMS Belfast is the most significant surviving Second World War Royal Navy warship. Since her launch on St Patrick's Day in 1938, over 82 years ago, she fired some of the first shots at the D-Day landings, served in the Arctic Convoys, and in the Korean War.

She is now permanently moored as a museum ship on the River Thames and is operated by the Imperial War Museum.
