Each year at this time skilled photojournalists are recognised for their perfect pictures in the Royal Navy’s annual photographic competition – the Peregrine Trophy Awards. These were presented at an event at Trinity House in the City of London in the last week of September.

Royal Navy photographers are charged with telling the stories of sailors and Royal Marines around the world through still imagery and video, taking them on deployments with warships and commando units wherever they may go. In the past year their imagery and video has covered everything from submarine operations in the North Pole, flight deck operations on board HMS Queen Elizabeth, joyful homecomings and Royal Marines Commando exercises in hot climates.
