The crew of a WA-based warship on deployment in the Middle East is melting hearts across the country with a Mother’s Day video tribute.

Put together by Able Seaman Ernesto Sanchez, 37, the video shows more than 60 sailors and officers aboard HMAS Toowoomba sending their love back home to the special women in their lives.

The video is filmed in various parts of the warship, with some of the crew holding up written messages and others showing photos of their girlfriends, wives and mothers.
