Modern military landing craft joined a memorial to remember a war time disaster off the Pembrokeshire coast.

As flags were lowered at a service on Saturday commemorating the sinking of two Landing Craft Guns at Freshwater West, in which 79 servicemen died, modern landing craft patrolled offshore.

They were part of Operation Griffin Strike that has been held in Pembrokeshire over the last week.

Only three people survived the sinking of two Landing Craft Guns Ls 15-16 and the HMS Rosemary on April 25, 1943.

In 2000 a simple stone memorial was erected in the car park at Freshwater West.

For the 70th anniversary of the disaster in 2013, two new plaques bearing the names of all servicemen that died was commissioned.
