BUCKINGHAM PALACE
Captain Malcolm Mathison MNM,
National Chairman,
Merchant Navy Association.
Please convey my warm thanks to the Members of the Merchant
Navy Association for their kind letter sent on the occasion of Merchant
Navy Day today.
I was pleased to learn that local commemorative services throughout Britain and the Commonwealth are taking place this year, and that thanks will be expressed to the serving seafarers who have been transporting goods and materials worldwide throughout the Covid- 19 pandemic.
Your continued support is much valued and, in return, I send my best wishes to you all.
ELIZABETH R.

(RG) I am as usual very greatful to the Royal British Legion (Whittlesey Branch) who every year on this date fly the ‘Red Ensign’ in recognition to all the British and Commonwealth seafarers who lost their lives in WW1, WW2, Korea and the Falklands.
I am also grateful to Mr Tim Brant who now lives in Whittlesey and is a committee members of the MNA and fellow retired seafarer like myself.
