FRIENDS OF TS QUEEN MARY

It’s been a privilege to be part of the corporate contributors in restoring TS Queen Mary to return her to active service in Britain’s coastal waters.

Our CEO Martin Sealeaf had the pleasure of attending the 90th Anniversary Celebrations earlier last month.

It’s great to see a snapshot of the afternoon in photos and videos to raise awareness of the charity and their work- Friends of The Queen Mary.

5.02.23 – HRH The Princess Royal Launches 90th Anniversary Celebrations
On 9th February, we were honoured to welcome our Royal Patron, Her Royal Highness Princess Royal, to a special reception at Voco Grand Central Glasgow Hotel. The reception was the first in a series of events being held to celebrate TS Queen Mary’s 90th anniversary year.

Over 100 corporate sponsors and donors had the opportunity to be presented to Her Royal Highness, before our Chairman Ian Sim delivered a short address. There then followed a moving video tribute by our patron Sam Neill OBE to his friend (and our former patron) the late Robbie Coltrane OBE.

Finally, Her Royal Highness presented four special Charity awards:
Merit Awards – presented to Barbara Craig, Barbara Winton and Arran Budge.
The Chairman’s Award – presented to Richard Orr.

We are now delighted to be able to share some photographs of our guests and Her Royal Highness from the reception, with further footage to follow.
