A Scottish eatery has shared its surprise after receiving an order for 50 pizzas - to be delivered to a submarine.
Tonino's in Greenock took to social media to reveal how they were asked to prepare the bumper delivery to ensure crew members on the HNLMS Zeeleeuw didn't go hungry.
The Royal Netherlands Navy submarine turned plenty of heads when it arrived in Inverclyde waters at the weekend before docking at Inchgreen Marine Park.
The vessel has been deployed in naval exercises and combat operations all over the world, and is also involved in intelligence operations.

In 2010, HNLMS Zeeleeuw took part in Operation Ocean Shield.
She was upgraded between 2014 and 2016, and in 2017, she took part in a torpedo-firing exercise in the Bahamas.
Tonino's were more than happy to oblige when asked to feed the crew of the HNLMS Zeeleeuw before they set back off on their next mission.
The eatery posted on social media: "Most people would doubt an order of 50 pizzas requested on April Fools Day delivered to a submarine, but we did no such thing and fed the 60 strong crew before they head off on their underwater adventure!
"What a day."
