Part of my involvement 2013: Veterans honoured at Merchant Navy stamp launch.

A collection of stamps featuring historic ships has gone on sale to commemorate the Merchant Navy and the veterans who served on the ships.

The launch event was held on the historic tea clipper the Cutty Sark, as former Merchant Navy veterans gathered to remember their time on the boats.
