Fleet Street is a major street in the City of London. It runs west to east from Temple Bar at the boundary with the City of Westminster to Ludgate Circus at the site of the London Wall and the River Fleet from which the street was named.
Having been an important through route since Roman times, businesses were established along the road during the Middle Ages. Senior clergy lived in Fleet Street during this period where there are several churches including Temple Church and St Bride's. Fleet Street became known for printing and publishing at the start of the 16th century and it became the dominant trade so that by the 20th century most British national newspapers operated from here. Much of the industry moved out in the 1980s after News International set up cheaper manufacturing premises in Wapping, but some former newspaper buildings are listed and have been preserved. The term Fleet Street remains a metonym for the British national press, and pubs on the street once frequented by journalists remain popular.
Fleet Street has a significant number of monuments and statues along its length, including the dragon at Temple Bar and memorials to a number of figures from the British press, such as Samuel Pepys and Lord Northcliffe. The street is mentioned in several works by Charles Dickens and is where the legendary fictitious murderous barber Sweeney Todd lived.
Ships of the Royal Canadian Navy docked at the Lonsdale Quay for the Navy's Fleet Weekend. The ships docked were HMCS Winnipeg, HMCS Vancouver, HMCS Brandon, and HMCS Edmonton as well as three Orca class patrol boats.
Passing the Royal Navy Dockyard we got a glimpse of HMS Queen Elizabeth, the largest and most powerful vessel ever constructed for the Royal Navy. In January HMS Queen Elizabeth assumed the role of Fleet Flagship of the Royal Navy.
In front of it is the American destroyer USS The Sullivans a guided missile destroyer launched in 1995. Note the American flag. Perhaps they are staking a claim. [Sorry my American friends, just couldn’t resist :) ]
Same fleet, different angle. All the ships are roughly 1:900 scale with as many key features crammed in as possible, they're not accurate but you do get the idea of what they are based on, which was the idea anyway.
After the Attestation Ceremony, the new midshipmen are at the Fleet Gym, Devonport Naval Base, for their first Multi Stage Fitness Test.

Activists hang under the St. Johns Bridge in Portland, Oregon, In an attempt to block the Shell leased icebreaker, MSV Fennica July 29, 2015. The climbers are currently preventing the ship from passing underneath the bridge on its way to meet Shell’s drilling fleet. The climbers have enough supplies to last for several days. According to the latest federal permit, the Fennica must be at Shell’s drill site before Shell can reapply for federal approval to drill deep enough for oil in the Chukchi Sea.

After 25 years at its present location, Aldershot Bus Station will close for good at the end of this week. To mark this occasion, the opportunity was taken today (03/05/2023) to recreate a scene that would have occurred around 10 years ago. When Stagecoach took over Fleet Buzz in 2011 they kept the identity for 3 years and repainted a number of their own buses into the distinctive yellow and black livery. One such bus was AE51VFV, now lovingly restored by James Bell. It is seen here in the bus station as it would have been seen on the Route 72 to Reading. Some town shots conclude this afternoon jolly.
