MNA Sea Sunday Service

On Sunday, 13th July, our Chairlady had the distinct honour of attending the ancient and deeply symbolic Sea Sunday service, held at the historic St Nicholas Church in Skirbeck. This annual event, steeped in maritime tradition, pays tribute to the men and women who dedicate their lives to the sea—whether in service, trade, or rescue.

The service began at 3pm and was marked by solemn reflection, community spirit, and a shared reverence for seafaring heritage.

The Mayor of Boston, who holds the honorary title of Admiral of the Wash, presided over the ceremony, adding a unique and ceremonial gravitas to the occasion.

The wreath-laying ceremony that followed was a poignant moment, honouring those lost at sea and reaffirming the community's enduring connection to maritime life.

As Chairlady of South Holland District Council and a proud member of the Branch, it was a privilege for her to represent the district at such a meaningful event.

Her presence underscored the council's support for maritime communities and the importance of preserving these time-honoured traditions. The service was not only a tribute to the past but also a celebration of the enduring spirit of those who live and work by the sea.
