We would like to say ‘thank you’ to our friend David Titley, manager of the New Holmwood Hotel, Cowes, for flying the Merchant Mariners’ Red Ensign to mark VE Day on 8th May and to recognise the contribution made by the Merchant Navy.
Since the lockdown we have been unable to hold our monthly lunches and meetings at our favourite venue. Many of us can remember VE Day so David’s action is much appreciated.
A symbol of hope that we can once again resume our activities after this dreadful epidemic is over.
