I SPENT a lovely holiday in York while HMS York was berthed in Hull and on June 23 I was involved in the Freedom March.
I felt very proud of the bearing of the officers and crew of HMS York.
I am one of the few surviving crew members of the eight-inch gun cruiser in which I served as a Royal Marine gunner.
On June 24 I was privileged to spend several hours on board HMS York in Hull and the welcome was overwhelming. This is my 14th year of visiting your lovely city.
