HMS Montrose has arrived in her namesake Angus town for the final time.

The Royal Navy warship, which has travelled more than 400,000 miles in her nearly 30-year lifetime, safely docked on Saturday.

Members of the public are being given one last chance to look around the ship from today until Tuesday.

Afterwards, it will be decommissioned.
