Wow! That's a weekend I won't forget

I'm absolutely thrilled we have managed to keep this medal in the local area. I can't wait to put it on display and share Tommy's brilliant story with our visitors. Thank you to the Furness Maritime Trust and every visitor who made a donation at the museum.

Oh @Morrisons, so disappointing. I should have looked through my messages to remind me why I shouldn't book my shopping through you.

Thank you @HeritageFundUK @HeritageFundNOR We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved thanks to you and @WandFCouncil @BAES_Maritime The film says it all. #Shipyardtown @RoyalNavy @CdreJimPerks @AdmTonyRadakin_ @FirstSeaLord @NavyLookout

Grab a brew, get comfy, the best thing you will watch this year. We are so incredibly proud about our #shipyardtown film and it’s a poem 😳🥰 @WandFCouncil @HeritageFundUK @HeritageFundNOR @BAES_Maritime @lsutherland https://t.co/h9jPe9zD77

Gave myself permission to leave my museum desk. I went out and about in search of local nature and heritage. I didn't have to go far. Walney, you did not disappoint! What an amazing place to work and live 🥰

So sad to hear this, I hope the items can be recovered soon 🙏
