The Honourable Company of Master Mariners organise a Remembrance Day Service at the Merchant Navy Memorial at Tower Hill each year. I attended the service on Sunday 8 November to commemorate seafarers of both Merchant and Royal Navies who lost their lives in the two World Wars and other conflicts.Wreath laying was led by Captain Flavian D’Souza, Senior Warden, Master Mariners, Captain Ian McNaught, Deputy Master, Trinity House, and Cdre Martin Atherton, representing the Royal Navy.
We were supported by an RNR Guard, School and Sea Cadet detachments. There were more than 50 wreaths laid during the service including one which I laid on behalf of the Water Conservators’ Company. The service concluded with the National Anthem.
