Queen names new Royal Navy aircraft carrier in Rosyth
The carrier has still to be fitted out and floated, to make way for the assembly of its sister ship HMS Prince of Wales.
Assembly of HMS Prince of Wales is set to begin at Rosyth later this year.
Work on the two carriers is expected to cost £6.2bn.
More than 10,000 people in more than 100 companies have worked on its construction.
