MARINERS in Portsmouth are being warned that the Royal Navy's biggest-ever warship could leave the city tomorrow evening.

A notice sent out by the Queen’s Harbour Master has earmarked 5.20pm as a potential time for HMS Queen Elizabeth to leave.

Previous notices have not always been a cast-iron guarantee of the 65,000-tonne vessel’s voyage to sea, with poor weather or other factors capable of postponing any trip in the 11th hour.
