A video has been released showing how crew on board HMS Queen Elizabeth created a stunning tribute to mark Remembrance Day.

Personnel from the Royal Navy, RAF and the army came together to create the spectacular image – which included the words ‘Lest We Forget’, and the F-35 jets being arranged in the shape of a poppy.

It came as the nation marked Remembrance Sunday, paying tribute to those who have lost their lives during conflicts across the world.

The image had a great response on social media, with the picture being ‘liked’ more than 8,000 times on the HMS Queen Elizabeth's Twitter page.

The post was also shared nearly 7,000 times after being published on The News’ Facebook page.

Today a time-lapse video was shared on the carrier’s Twitter page showing how they created the eye-catching spectacle.
