News:Pirate-hunting warship receives praise from the Queen

A pirate-hunting British frigate has been praised by the Queen during her state visit to the Gulf.

HMS Cornwall is on a six-month deployment to the region to protect shipping in the area.

The ship's captain, Commander David Wilkinson, met the Queen at the official residence of Britain's ambassador to Oman.

The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh's five-day visit to the Gulf has also included the United Arab Emirates.

The royal couple were joined by Foreign Secretary William Hague and his wife Ffion in the grounds of ambassador Dr Noel Guckian's home in the capital Muscat, overlooking the waters of the Gulf of Oman.
