Please note that this is an OUTDOOR event, but anyone wishing to attend - we ask that everyone uses 'common sense' and do not crowd - please social distance of 2 metres please. Everyone will be able to hear the service as a sound system is being provided for the service.
Tomorrow - Sunday 11th July is International Sea Sunday where the day is a celebration of the role Seafarers play in our daily lives!
Tomorrow in BARRY there will be a short service at The Merchant Seamens Memorial on the Waterfront (turn down towards the Waterfront at Morrisons roundabout and its right in front of you - jutting out into No.1 Dock!) at 2.00pm.
The service will be led by the chaplain of the Seafarers Fr. Chris Seaton together with the Mayor plus other civic leaders, dignitaries and officials and members of the Merchant Navy Association, plus others.
There will be readings, prayers, the Seamans Hymn - "Eternal Father, Strong to Save", 'Last Post', 'Reveille' and finsihing off with a blessing and the National Anthems.
Please NOTE that as we are still in Covid Restrictions, this event is outdoors, but we do ask any members of the public the use 'common sense' and social distance 2 metres apart and in the event
of any people closer to you please use a facemask!
There will be a Sound System provided for the event so that anyone along the waterfront will be able to hear the complete service!
The Town of Barry has a rich history of seafarers, as back in history the port of Barry held the world record for the export of coal to other countries and the docks & town at one time was full of seafarers from the very many ships that docked in Barry.
We are hoping that the weather will be kind tomorrow afternoon at around 2pm!
