Thank you to all merchant navy seafarers who provide vital seaborne supplies to and from the UK. Also remembering and honouring those who served so bravely and at such cost in #WorldWar1 and #WorldWar2 #MerchantNavyDay 👏 ❤️
Today is #MerchantNavyDay, when we recognise the invisible yet essential service of the 24,000 men and women currently working at sea, transporting over 95% of the UK’s trade. We also honour the bravery of seafarers who kept vital supply lines open during both World Wars.
