Bill Houghton
Dad spent time with the sailors on the Thames barges from the age of 9yrs. He went in to serve in the Royal Navy during WW2 and the Merchant Navy after the war. He was a Coxwain of lifeboat crews in the 1960’s. This week Dad would have celebrated his 100th birthday and it was so moving to see the Lifeboat that now carries his name. Thank you RNLI for this opportunity to remember our loved ones in such a wonderful way. Dad always missed being at sea and now his memory will remain there again.
