The Ark Royal was granted the Freedom of the City of Leeds in October 1973 after a long history of association between the Ship and the City. The Ark Royal was adopted by Leeds for one of the Goverment sponsored 'Warship Weeks' in the early 1940s. In response to the sinking of the third Ark Royal, citizens raised over ?9 million for the building of the replacement vessel. This view shows a commemorative flypast marking the 30th anniversary of the Ships Freedom. To the left is a Seaking helicopter with a Merlin to the right. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Ark Royal Parade Merlin Helicopter Fly Past SeaKing | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
