The Royal Navy's current flagship HMS Illustrious will not be making a visit to the port this weekend.
Due to what has been called operational commitments, the aircraft carrier has cancelled the call, much to the disappointment of local shipping buffs.
The 22,000 vessel was to have berthed on the Queens wharf to allow her 700 strong crew shore leave after a hectic trails period.
