Thinking of all my old shipmates especially those still on watch. Best wishes and blue skies for all those attending the Cenotaph in London, I'll be miles north in Barnsley at the Town Hall Rememberance. I'm sure as the clock strikes 11am we will all share the same thought of a fine ship and a proud crew. Remember our friends with pride. Molly
