HULL SEA CADETS –
TS IRON DUKE
Lost Trawlermen’s Service 20th January 2019
The Team
The 30th Annual
Commemorative Service
to remember the 6,000
trawlermen from Hull
lost at sea, was held
on Sunday 20 January
2019 at St Andrew’s
Quay Retail Park. The
Service was organised
by the fishing heritage
group, STAND and Hull
Sea Cadets were invited
to attend to hand out
service sheets. Able
Cadet Mark Sergejev
piped the still to signify
the start and end of
the minute’s silence,
during which the Standard was dipped by LC Titania Whitham. Surprisingly, although very cold, the weather was sunny and not the usual rain and winds - for which we were grateful!
The service was well attended and guests included the Lord Mayor of Kingston upon Hull, the Bishop of Kingston upon Hull, the Right Reverend Alison White, former Hull West and Hessle MP Alan Johnson and the present MP Emma Hardy.
The service is always an emotional time for those who have lost loved ones but, as one man said, families return every year "come hail, rain or shine”.
