HMS Ark Royal has clocked up 621,551 nautical miles as part of her service Axed aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal will be given a final send-off later.
A decommissioning parade will take place in Portsmouth to mark the passing of the fleet flagship, which will be scrapped as part of government cuts.
About 250 sailors will take part to celebrate the affiliation between the warship and its home port at 1120 GMT.
The warship will be replaced by the Queen Elizabeth class of aircraft carrier, which will not come into service until the end of the decade.
Council leader Gerald Vernon-Jackson said the vessel had a “very special” place in the hearts of the people of the city.
“It’s only right to mark the passing of such a great ship,” he added.
“The strong association that Ark Royal has maintained throughout the last 25 years with the city of Portsmouth is immensely important”
Captain Jerry Kyd
The parade is due to take place in Guildhall Square, followed by a reception.
The aircraft carrier’s Commanding Officer Captain Jerry Kyd will also give a speech and present the Lord Mayor of Portsmouth with a ship’s white ensign.
Visitors will also be allowed on board over the weekend.
Capt Kyd said: “The strong association that Ark Royal has maintained throughout the last 25 years with the city of Portsmouth is immensely important.
“It is a real pleasure to be able to mark these links with a parade through the city, reception in the Guildhall and take the opportunity to open my ship to the public for the final time over the weekend.”
This version is the fifth Ark Royal. The first saw battle in 1588 and smashed the Spanish Armada.
During its busy life the ship clocked up 621,551 nautical miles and made her final entry to Portsmouth on December 3 following a farewell tour.
The decision to decommission the Ark Royal three years early and also cut the Harrier force has been criticised by several retired Royal Navy admirals including Admiral Lord West of Spithead, who said losing the ship in “such dangerous times” was “short-sighted”.

Vincent Tabak’s flat is in the same block where Jo Yeates lived A man arrested on suspicion of murdering Jo Yeates is to be questioned by detectives for a third day.
Miss Yeates, 25, was found dead on Christmas Day, eight days after going missing from her home in the Clifton area of Bristol.
Police made an arrest on Thursday and have also searched a flat next to Miss Yeates’s, which the BBC understands is home to Dutchman Vincent Tabak, 32.
Police have not confirmed Mr Tabak has been arrested.
On Friday Avon and Somerset Police were given more time to question the arrested man, with a court granting a warrant of further detention, which meant he could be held until Saturday evening.
Police closed Canynge Road, where Miss Yeates lived, early on Thursday and put up scaffolding next to her flat.
Forensic teams then began a search at the block, which was covered up with green sheets. Mr Tabak’s flat is not the first in the block to have been searched by officers.
Police also sealed off part of Aberdeen Road in Cotham, about a mile from the flats.
The arrest on Thursday morning is believed to have taken place at a converted Victorian terraced house in the road.
Jo Yeates’s body was found on Christmas Day Police were initially granted extra time to question the suspect on Friday morning and a further day was granted in the afternoon.
Miss Yeates’s frozen body was found by dog walkers on 25 December next to a country road in Failand, three miles from where she lived.
A post-mortem examination revealed she had been strangled.
Miss Yeates, who was originally from Ampfield in Hampshire, was reported missing by her 27-year-old boyfriend Greg Reardon on 19 December when he returned to their home after a weekend away visiting family in Sheffield.
Earlier this week a reconstruction for the BBC’s Crimewatch programme was filmed, tracing Miss Yeates’s last steps.
The reconstruction focused on what happened to her after she left the offices of BDP, where she worked in Bristol city centre, on 17 December.
Miss Yeates is known to have gone to the Bristol Ram pub, Waitrose and a Bargain Booze shop.
It is believed a 32-year-old man was arrested in Aberdeen Road She then bought a pizza from a Tesco Express store before returning home.
CCTV footage of her in all three shops has been released by police.
Miss Yeates’s shoes, coat, mobile phone, purse and keys were found in her flat, which detectives said showed she had returned home.
The receipt from Tesco was also discovered in the flat but no trace has been found of the pizza or its packaging.
Tests have revealed she did not eat the pizza before she died.
Miss Yeates’s parents, David and Teresa, made a new appeal for information on Monday in which they urged “armchair detectives” to help police by reporting anyone whose behaviour had been unusual in recent weeks or who had reacted strangely to the murder.
The appeal prompted more than 300 calls to the force.
Miss Yeates’s landlord Chris Jefferies, 65, was previously held for three days for questioning on suspicion of murder before being released on bail.

Steve says he loves all of his children ‘with a passion’ This week a study revealed that one in eight UK children rarely or never see their father.
So can one man have 13 children by eight different partners, have married six times and still be a good father? Well, ask Steve Ginger.
“I try to be a good dad,” says the 49-year-old, who lives in a Bedfordshire village along with wife number six and three of his four stepchildren.
A sign by his front door warns that trespassers will be shot, and from behind the house comes the howl of a huge dog.
Steve’s arms are covered in tattoos, his face is pierced and he has a build that made him a prison boxing champion.
“I never planned it, but I don’t think I’d change it”
Steve Ginger
But when he sits down with a roll-up cigarette to talk about his many children, a gentler person emerges.
“Kids are there for life, like a dog. You’ve got to look after them,” he says.
He gamely tries to remember when some of his offspring were born.
“Birthdays… I’m absolutely terrible with birthdays, I must admit.”
He turns to his 16-year-old stepson Rees for help, but none comes.
“He’s terrible as well,” says Steve.
“Rebecca and Stephanie, I haven’t got a clue. I’ve got it written down somewhere.
“Cheyenne’s birthday… I can remember that. It’s the 22nd of, err, Christ, August?
“My wife’s good at birthdays”, he says, referring to Anne, his spouse of two years.
Steve’s first two marriages lasted just a few weeks and yielded no children. He admits to spending a wedding night with someone other than his new bride.
The next four marriages were more productive, as were the relationships with four further women.
“I still get on relatively well with them all,” he says.
“[He] looks after me, so that’s all that matters”
Rees Stepson of Steve Ginger
“It’s not like we hate each other and I still see the children all the time.”
Steve has 13 children, plus one of disputed paternity who calls him dad. Their ages range from four to 27, and around half are now adults.
“I never planned it, but I don’t think I’d change it. I love kids,” he says.
“If I didn’t love them I wouldn’t let them come back all the time, and you wouldn’t put up with the things you have to put up with.”
Steve is a trained mechanic, but a back injury in 1996 means he is unable to work, lives off income support and disability allowance, and admits to struggling financially.
“When my daughter moved back in she was a priority until she’s sorted out. The boys come and go, they stay three, four, five days at a time and need feeding and that’s what we do.
“You just have to make ends meet.
“Right now it’s the twins’ birthday [Rees and his brother Shane]. One wants a Nintendo DS, the other wants trainers and a jumper. We’ll have to find the money from somewhere.”
So is Steve Ginger a good father?
“Ask my children,” he replies.
“Yeah he’s good,” says Rees. “Looks after me, so that’s all that matters.”
As for his other 17 children and stepchildren, Steve says he tries to be there when they need him.
“When they go through bad patches and they want to come home then they’re welcome.
“I love all of them with a passion. That’s the one thing you’ve got to have as a parent.
“I put my children before anything, before my own life. I would do anything and that is a fact.”

The fate of the building has been uncertain since Josef Fritzl’s crimes were discovered The house in which Josef Fritzl locked his daughter in a cellar for 24 years and fathered seven children by her is to be razed, Austrian media report.
No date has been set for the demolition of the house, located in the northern Austrian town of Amstetten.
The town’s mayor said he would prefer the house to be knocked down under cover of darkness, to try to deter the attention of the media.
Fritzl, 74, was jailed for life in March 2009.
He was convicted of murdering one of his children through neglect, as well as rape, incest, and enslaving his daughter, now in her 40s.
His daughter and her children received therapy, though official details about their current situation have not been made public.
The BBC’s Bethany Bell reports from Vienna that the fate of the house has been uncertain, with fears that no one would want to buy a place with such a troubled history.
Other tenants left the building shortly after Fritzl’s crimes were discovered.
