Bling below the waves: 'A submarine of my own'

The principality's vast harbour is littered with huge yachts belonging to those rich people who are not only proud of the trappings of their station in life, but are always looking for different ways to display it.

Several of the latest models were on display in Monaco, including some from a small US company - DeepFlight.

It was founded by the British engineer, inventor and entrepreneur Graham Hawkes, who has had an extraordinary career. Full story...
