Royal Navy warship HMS Tyne will go alongside Northumbrian Quay in North Shields this Friday for the start of a four-day whistlestop visit to her affiliate region.

She is visiting in support of the seventh annual Mouth of the Tyne Festival and is very much looking forward to representing the Royal Navy at the event. The ship’s commanding officer, Lieutenant Commander Will Peters, will host several receptions on board the ship for local and regional dignitaries, to cement the special relationship that exists between the ship and her adopted area.
