00:00Britain's biggest aircraft carrier is set to make a triumphant return to Liverpool for
00:04a week-long visit. HMS Prince of Wales is due to arrive at the cruise liner terminal
00:08on Monday, December 2nd. The vessel will spend seven days on the Mersey, allowing her 800
00:13crew to engage with local schools, community projects and civic leaders, and give the public
00:19an insight into life aboard the Portsmouth-based warship as she gears up for her maiden deployment.
00:24It's the first time since March 2020 that the ship's schedule has allowed her to visit
00:29Merseyside. The maiden appearance drew hundreds of thousands of people into the city, with
00:34around 20,000 members of the public enjoying a tour of the carrier. Commanding Officer
00:38Captain Will Blackett and his ship's company are hoping for a similar welcome upon the
00:42carrier's return. As she did in 2020, HMS Prince of Wales will open her gangway to the
00:47public, with 10,000 guests expected on each day of the two days, Saturday 7th and Sunday
00:548th December. Entry is by ticket only and you must apply in advance.
