The Waverley paddle steamer sailed around the iconic Red Sands Forts off Kent, UK this afternoon (October 2).

The trip around the Maunsell forts in the Thames Estuary also co-incided with the 79th anniversary of her launch.

Waverley launched back on this day back in 1946 - as the last paddle steamer built for service on the Clyde.

Waverley was the final vessel of ten steamers built for London & North Eastern Railway in Glasgow.

Footage filmed from Warden Bay shows the Red Sands tower - anti-aircraft defences for London from the Second World War.
