Eighteen Little Ships took to the river this weekend, with the legacy of Operation Dynamo sailing in their wake.
Our Victory Squadron sailors had the privilege of supporting the Association of Dunkirk Little Ships Veterans Cruise and helping to keep that history alive.

Getting ready for day 2 of the veterans cruise. We will not be going through Sunbury lock due to the water levels and will turn just before the weir. Among the veterans today will be Chelsea Pensioners. Please come out and cheer us on.
