Plymouth service remembers Merchant Navy sailors

A ceremony has been held in Plymouth to remember Merchant Navy sailors killed in the Falklands War and other conflicts.

Wreaths were laid during the gathering at the Merchant Navy Monument on the city's Hoe seafront.

The ceremony was held 40 years on from an attack on the SS Atlantic Conveyer, which saw 12 crew killed.

It also marked the deaths of 48 sailors during an attack on the RFA Sir Galahad two weeks later.
