🇬🇧 This Saturday, 13th September, the Association of Dunkirk Little Ships will be honouring our war heroes with a Veterans Cruise.

Between 13:00 and 16:00, the fleet will transit several times through Penton Hook Lock, keeping alive the memory of the brave Dunkirk Veterans who fought so hard to return home, and of those who stayed behind to allow them passage. We also honour the fleet of Little Ships that saved an army and whose spirit lives on today.

A heartfelt thank you to MDL Marinas and MDL Penton Hook for their generosity, to the Royal Navy Collingwood for their support throughout the 85th anniversary, and to Penton Hook Yacht Club for hosting us and making us feel at home.

Their legacy lives on, and we are proud to remember them. 🌊⚓️
