Remembrance Flotilla

On Tuesday 11 November, PLA Harbour Service Launch Lambeth led a Remembrance Day flotilla on the Thames.

The flotilla made its way upriver, pausing to pay tribute to HMS Belfast, the Submariners Memorial, the RAF Memorial, and HMS Wellington.

Upon reaching the Palace of Westminster, a short service was held, attended by PLA Harbour Master, Adam Layer.

After the sounding of ‘The Last Post’, a wreath was laid upon the Thames in remembrance of those who lost their lives in the world wars – particularly the men and women of the river.

Adam said “It was a deeply moving occasion, and I felt truly privileged to be part of it.

“My sincere thanks go to Sean Collins, Master of the Company of Watermen and Lightermen, for the kind invitation to attend this special event.”
