The Royal Navy's freedom of Plymouth is being celebrated this morning - but the plans have been slightly changed because of the heavy rain and wind today.
An event has been held at the Guildhall to mark the 60th anniversary of being awarded the freedom.
It got going at 9.30am in the Guildhall - despite originally being planned to be held at The Piazza on Armada Way.
The ceremony, attended by the Lord Mayor, acknowledged, and thanked, the Royal Navy for their work and dedication, whilst the Royal Marine Band alongside Royal Navy personnel were also in attendance.
There's no longer temporary road closures on Royal Parade at the Armada Way pedestrian crossing because of the change of plans.
