Pictures of HMS Largo Bay

All these young boys were partaking of their sea training on HMS Largo Bay before moving on with their naval service.
I hasten to add that they are all in their seventies now and no doubt one or two have crossed the bar.

Largo Bay alongside at Aberdeen for the 1953 Queens Coronation.

Largo Bay coming up to her anchorage for the 1953 Spithead review.

This is the Coronation day parade in Aberdeen 2nd June 1953. The naval contingent is made up of Boy/seamen from HMS Largo Bay. I'm the one at the front marching along the tramlines.

This is a blow up of the previous picture, slightly blurred I'm afraid. Anyone remember it?

Another picture of the Coronation day parade.

And another blow-up.
