HMS Queen Elizabeth

The Lightmongers are honoured to be affiliated with the Royal Navy’s flagship, the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth and very proud of that affiliation.

On 13th September 2024 a party of Lightmongers were privileged, along with other affiliated organisations, to be invited to visit the ship and have a tour and learn about the ship’s operations. They were made most welcome by the officers and crew and had an extensive tour of the ship, with talks about how it operates:

Whilst it was a very busy visit there was some time for refreshments and enjoy opportunities to chat with members of the crew and learn about our affiliated ship from that perspective.

The Master thanked the Captain, Will King, RN, for hosting our visit and all the members of the crew who had made it so informative and such a memorable and enjoyable occasion.
