SOUTH East Cornwall MP Sheryll Murray spoke about 'thousands of stories of bravery and pride' at the national Armed Forces Day in Plymouth.

'Plymouth was chosen as the venue for the national Armed Forces Day celebrations,' she said.

'I visited and was fortunate to be invited aboard HMS Argyll to witness the 21-gun salute to Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex, and the Prime Minister.

'I was impressed by the pride the Royal Navy personnel took in their ship and the camaraderie that was so apparent amongst the crew.'
