Caption: King Charles III Officially Recognises The Royal Port of Barrow. King Charles III visited Barrow-in-Furness to mark its designation as The Royal Port of Barrow. Barrow is home to BAE Systems’ shipyard, the construction site of the UK’s nuclear-powered submarines. The Royal Port status was granted by the King and confirmed by the Prime Minister during a visit in March. Crowds, including many schoolchildren, lined the streets to welcome the King, capturing the moment with photos and videos. A performance by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic took place at Barrow Town Hall as part of the celebrations. King Charles III presided over a ceremony commissioning the HMS Agamemnon into operational service. HMS Agamemnon weighs 7,400 tonnes, measures 97 metres, and can strike targets up to 1,000 miles away. The submarine can deploy Royal Marines Commandos and undertake intelligence missions. The King met shipbuilders, serving personnel, their families, and the local community. Defence Secretary John Healey and dignitaries attended, highlighting the programme’s advanced technology.
