Hundreds of people have attended a ceremony to welcome the Royal Navy's newest warship into the fleet. The colourful "christening" ceremony for the Type 45 destroyer HMS Defender was held at Portsmouth Naval Base. The 190-strong crew lined the quayside for the event, which was attended by the ship's sponsor, Lady Julie Massey, and Vice Admiral Philip Jones, commander of the Royal Navy fleet.
