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.

"What role did the Merchant Navy play in the Falklands War?
Non-military cargo vessels and tankers in the Merchant Navy were critical in keeping British armed forces supplied with food, fuel, weaponry and other equipment and vehicles during the Falklands War."
