The general public, serving personnel, and veterans, gathered themselves together for the Portsmouth 100 satellite picture. It was to honour the 100th anniversary of Portsmouth - the home of the Royal Navy - achieving her city status.
Unperturbed by the cloudy conditions, people of all ages stood around the Portsmouth 100 logo. They cheered and waved their hands while looking up at the sky.
Unfortunately, the weather was too cloudy for the satellite image - orchestrated by Airbus - to see the image, but fabulous drone shots were taken by Solent Sky Services.
