Today, The Countess of Wessex as Lady Sponsor, attended Families' Day and the Trafalgar Dinner on board HMS DARING in Portsmouth, Hampshire. Here's my post on HRH's sponsorship. After press release: "Type 45 destroyer HMS Daring showed off her prowess to The Countess of Wessex – the ship’s sponsor who launched the ship in 2006".

"The Countess, accompanied by her children James, Viscount Severn and Lady Louise Windsor, was special guest at the ship’s families day, joining dozens of friends and loved ones of Daring’s 190 ship’s company who were treated to tours and displays of her hi-tech capability".
"The royal guests pretended to fight a fire, tried out the captain’s chair on the bridge and donned headsets in the operations room – the fighting heart of the ship". During lunch (with the crew & their families) the music was provided by The Countess of Wessex's String Orchestra. HRH attended a ceremony and lunch to present the ship's captain with a sword of honour for the support HMS Daring provided as part of the UK's emergency response to Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines in 2013.
The Countess returned in the evening for a Trafalgar Night dinner on board HMS Daring. For full article click here. Such event is held to celebrate the anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar and to commemorate the memory of Admiral Lord Nelson.
