Royal Marines have completed a vital training exercise to help strengthen their role of protecting the UK's nuclear-armed submarines and their home base in Faslane.

Marines from 43 Commando Fleet Protection Group took part in Exercise Tartan Eagle over a two-week period in Chesapeake, Virginia, working alongside their colleagues from the US Marine Corps.

The annual event is held so the Royal Marines can sharpen their skills so they can protect the Royal Navy's Vanguard-class submarines.
