The pub, in Edinburgh Road, Landport, Portsmouth, which dates from 1887, will close in its current form on December 2.

It is known nationally and internationally for its close ties to the Royal Navy.

But due to money problems, the family that has run it for generations has had to make the tough choice to close it down, although owner Punch Taverns says it wants to find a new licensee.
