A very moving ceremony took place on Wednesday 12th of July to celebrate the life of our Honorary Vice President, William Charles Reynolds, who had died aged 97.The family were so pleased that Peter Dolby represented the Trust at the funeral. Bill had been a keen follower of the Endeavour and avidly read the newsletters.
Bill was one of three veterans who attended Endeavour’s re-christening in 2005, at which they said, had it not been for boats like Endeavour and their brave sailors they may not have been there that day to welcome her back.
This photograph was taken at the re-christening and shows Bill on the right behind David Amess and alongside Harold Ings and Frank Grove. Bill was of the generation who defended our country so we might enjoy our lives in relative peace – thank you Bill.
