Crowds welcome RFA Argus back to Falmouth PICTURES: DAVID BARNICOAT
There were tears, cheers and a proper Cornish welcome as the RFA Argus arrived back in port this morning from her Ebola relief mission to Sierra Leone.
The Argus left in September to provide support to UK personnel in the disease wracked West African country.
The ship provided medical aid to personnel, while three Merlin helicopters from 820 Naval Air Squadron and detachment of Royal Marines from 1 Assault Group Royal Marines helped deliver equipment, supplies and food packages to remote areas of Sierra Leone over the last six months.
