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

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.
