This morning (16 August 2017), lots of our ladies were down at Portmouth harbour’s entrance to see Britain’s future flagship HMS Queen Elizabeth sail into her home port for the first time.

Whilst this is a huge moment for the Naval community, it’s also particularly special for ladies in  Portsmouth Military Wives Choir  who have husbands and partners on board, as well as bringing back fond memories for choir members who have served on previous carriers 

Portsmouth MWC recorded a beautiful version of ‘Sailing’, a song that means a lot to them, to honour the occasion. Listen here.
