A cathedral service is being held today to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the UK's first nuclear bomb test.

The event at Portsmouth Cathedral marks the date that HMS Zeebrugge and HMS Narvik set sail to prepare the nuclear test site at the Monte Bello Islands off Australia.

The ships actually set sail from Portsmouth on February 19, 1952 and the test, codenamed Operation Hurricane, took place on October 3.
