Britain remembers Battle of the Atlantic 70 years on:
The Battle of the Atlantic, the longest continuous military campaign in World War II, is to be commemorated in a series of events starting on Wednesday.
Three Royal Navy warships will arrive in London before a special evensong in St Paul's Cathedral at 17:00 BST.
The events mark the 70th anniversary of the climax of the battle, May 1943, when Germany's submarine fleet suffered heavy losses in the Atlantic.
