The HMS Queen Elizabeth carrier has left Rosyth amid drama with the ship's captain.

The 65,000 tonne ship is the largest ever built for the Royal Navy and has spent recent weeks at Rosyth dock for maintenance work.

But the captain that is in charge of the carrier was not on board for today's operation.

It comes after Nick Cooke-Priest was flown off the ship in a row over claims he misused a MoD car for personal use.

The Royal Navy says the move is a "precautionary measure" during what is a "ongoing investigation".
