The aircraft carrier Invincible has left Portsmouth for the last time before it is broken up at a Turkish scrapyard. The carrier, which saw action in the Falklands War, was sold through an internet site. Wellwishers gathered at the quayside to say farewell to the ship, which was decommissioned six years ago. It is being taken to Leyal Ship Recycling, based near Izmir, and will take eight months to dismantle.
