Chairman of maritime charity pays tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizbeth II for service to the Merchant Navy
The Chairman of the Merchant Navy Welfare Board (MNWB) says “she was truly the anchor around which the nation has stayed safely moored regardless of which way the tide flowed” in a tribute to Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.
HM Queen Elizabeth II was the longest reigning British monarch and Master of the Merchant Navy and Fishing Fleets.
Andrew Cassels, Chairman of the MNWB which is the umbrella charity for the UK Merchant Navy and Fishing Fleets that provides support to seafarers, fishermen and their dependents, said:
“It is with the deepest sadness that we learned of the Queen’s passing.
“She reigned for a glorious 70 years during which time the country has seen considerable change. She has been described as a rock, the foundations upon which our nation has grown. For the Merchant Navy, she was truly the anchor around which the nation has stayed safely moored regardless of which way the tide flowed. God bless the queen; long live the King.”
Our sincere condolences are with the Royal Family at this time.
