HMS Hood's bell recovered from seabed

She was the pride of the British navy in WW2.

But when HMS Hood was sunk by the Bismarck in May 1941 it was the worst loss of life suffered by a British warship.

Now the ship's bell has been rescued from the wreckage in the north Atlantic in time to mark the 75th anniversary of the ship's loss.
