She's home! A great welcome for Lucy Lavers!
06/06/2015
Lucy Lavers approaches her berth bedecked with flags to a crowd on the quay and a great welcome home.
Aboard were David Cox, her Wells coxswain in the sixties, Allen Frary, the current Wells Coxswain and Ben Riches, who with the Hewitts and others, did a lot of her restoration work. Ben accompanied Lucy Lavers to Dunkirk in May for the 75th anniverary of Operation Dynamo
Lucy Lavers was escorted home by former Wells lifeboat Ernest Tom Neathercoat, restored in 2012 by David Hewitt, by the current Wells inshore lifeboat Jane Ann III, and by crab boats Miss Judith and Miss Britain
