Re: Fly the Red Ensign for Merchant Navy Day on 3 September.
Met a chap earlier, odd here to see a red ensign flying apart from remembrance / commemoration days etc here,
I had to knock on his door and ask more, took a different route to go shopping tonight and could not fail to notice
a red ensign flying above the roof of what I now know to be his home. I will try and get a picture next time. To cut
a short story long, he is still serving and fly's the ensign always when he is at home.
He was a bit wary on first mention of the flag on the roof but, later added I was the first to notice it was the red ensign,
people I guess all over do things in an own way, this guy does not live at Buck house or Windsor castle but, his mates
know when he is at home from the sea.
