Bridlington author Richard Jones This Saturday (11 April) there are several events to commemorate the 85th anniversary of the sinking of the Yorkshire Belle and Othello.
At 12noon there is a book launch at Bridlington Central library of the story of the sinking of both vessels. Mined in the Humber will be officially released. Please reserve a place as there is limited seating (see poster attached).
At 2.15 a memorial ceremony in Bridlington will be held at the Wellington Road memorial garden with a minute silence at 2.15pm to remember the 21 who died in both ships.
Also at 2.15pm the exact same memorial ceremony in Grimsby at the Royal Navy Patrol Memorial led by local RNA/Royal Navy Club.
Said Richard; “Message me with any questions but the memorials are an open event and all are invited (Grimsby – give me your name to add to the security list for the main gate).”
