| Red Ensign flown from Tower Bridge | The Red Ensign flew for the very first time on Tower Bridge on Sunday 6th Septemberto mark Merchant Navy Day, with a commemorative service taking place in nearby Trinity Gardens. The decision to hold a Merchant Navy day was taken 10 years ago by former deputy prime minister John Prescott, who wanted to raise the profile of shipping as a career option and recall the hard work and sacrifice made by merchant seafarers over the years. The UK Department for Transport also marked a decade of Merchant Navy Days by flying the Red Ensign over its Westminster headquarters. | 08/09/09 09:30 | |
