In pictures: Sea King helicopters in final fly-past over the South West

The Sea King helicopters have been taking part in a fly-past over the South West before going out of service at the end of the month.

The aircraft have been in service since the late 1970s, taking part in every major conflict over the past 35 years including the Falklands War and two Gulf Wars.

Here is a selection of your photos and some of our video of the Sea Kings taking off.
