Christmas cards for HMS PRINCE OF WALES

When Lord-Lieutenant Mrs Peaches Golding OBE asked whether the children of Bristol might wish to make a Christmas card for each of the ship’s crew on affiliate HMS PRINCE OF WALES, she did not realise how generous the response would be.  Nine groups of GirlGuiding Bristol & South Gloucestershire and the Cubs of Avon Scouts responded with beautifully painted Christmas cards. A further nine piracy schools and academies also responded.  With lockdown preventing Peaches from taking the 2,500 cards she received to Portsmouth where the aircraft carrier was alongside, she enrolled the assistance of Father Christmas and his Elves to ensure the Christmas cards arrived in time.  Click video to view the story!
