Lest we forget - the veterans on the Endeavour
The Endeavour took part in a two-day cruise to Hampton Court with three Chelsea Pensioners.
The historic boat from Leigh ferried veterans who had fought in Korea, the Middle East and South Atlantic to the celebration along the River Thames.
A ceremony was held at Teddington Lock at the very spot where 100 small ships sailed to Dunkirk to return the soldiers on the beach home to England in 1940.
