Some mothers were treated to a perfectly choreographed aerial display spelling out the word 'mum' - others were told in a card they "smell like vegetables". A card from W H Smith will never been the same again for the mothers of these Royal Navy sailors and Royal Marines. Crew members of destroyer HMS Dauntless lined up on the flight deck to form the word "Mum" and two kisses.
Some comments, written in the Mother's day cards are "My mum smells like vegetables"; "Some children just can't help using Mother's Day as an opportunity to point out their own qualities"; "Nothing says 'I care' like getting a birthday card on Mother's Day"
