Hastings long serving RNLI Volunteer Glenn Barry made the trip to London this weekend to to pay his respects to Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen has been Patron of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. It’s a role that’s been held by every reigning British monarch since King George IV in the 1820s. And it’s an important role, giving credibility and support to the lifesaving charity.
After a long 13 hour queue Glenn made it in to Westminster Hall where he paid his respects and the timing was perfect as the Queens Children where once again stood vigil over their mother’s coffin while members of the public looked on.
