Ships crew to march through town

Royal Navy staff are exercising their freedom rights by marching through a Warwickshire town centre.

The ship's company of HMS Atherstone is parading through the town of the same name - nine years after it was granted the freedom of the borough.

The march is to mark the 60th anniversary of Victory in Europe and Japan and the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar.

HMS Atherstone is a mine hunter and is currently based in Scotland.
