Sea Sunday is a day we remember all those who work at sea, spending many months away from family and friends, to bring essential everyday goods to our island nation. We give thanks to them for the vital role they play in all of our lives. #SeaSunday #seafarers #fishermen

Good Luck Sam! Wishing all the very best to resident Sam Lloyd as he cycles from Saddleworth to London to raise money for Platform 1 Huddersfield (a Mental Health Support Organisation based in Huddersfield) and QVSR. Thank you and we'll be awaiting your return with a well-earned cuppa!

Celebrating #MerchantNavyDay - we fly the red ensign today and every day to honour the brave men and women who kept the UK afloat during both World Wars, and to celebrate our dependence on modern-day merchant seafarers who are responsible for more than 90% of the UK’s imports.

On Sea Sunday we give thanks to all seafarers who spend many months away from home to bring us the goods we so easily take for granted. Seafaring can be demanding, dangerous, and lonely, we pray for seafarers across the world and all those who support their welfare. #SeaSunday
