HMS Lion Forth road bridge

Description

This is a photographic image taken from YouTube of the Pathe News film that was published as a news story for viewers to see the opening of the Forth road bridge on 4th September 1964. The ship at anchor in the heavy fog is the Royal Navy Cruiser HMS Lion. This image is produced here to illustrate the version of this event, as told by a Royal Navy Petty Officer on board, Gwyn Davies. The cruiser would later in the day suffer light damage as it was rammed by HMS Lowestoft in heavy fog.
