Watch an incredibly powerful Christmas advert from the Royal Navy with devastating never-before-seen footage of an attack on a British ship.

The two-and-a-half minute advert follows the story of HMS Diamond being attacked by Iran-backed rebels back on Christmas Eve in 2023.

However, the story is also mirrored with an emotional bond with a father and son, just like this year's John Lewis advert.

But, unlike high street stalwarts which splashes masses of cash on their Christmas adverts, the Royal Navy only spent £250 putting the moving story together, paying tribute to serving sailors as well as civilian volunteer.
