Jonathan Mendenhall sharing the history of the Cyril and Lilian Bishop, the 'Ghost of Dunkirk', with us before her final journey...
Judy Rogers, Mayor of Hastings, gives her account...
Michael Foster, ex-Member of Parliament and Deputy Lieutenant of East Sussex, and Hastings' resident all his life ("I've never stayed away from Hastings for more than 2 weeks, all my life", though he did attend the University of Leicester, so I'm guessing he included that as living in Hastings...), joins in!

Sitting outside the Stag Inn
More singing - She's arrived!
Well done Hastingers, the Cyril and Lilian Bishop docked below All Saints Church.
