Yesterday’s sundowner: a Dunkirk Little Ship - the single most moving sight on the river all year...

Gorgeous restoration of a perfectly formed little boat . Out for trials today with owners , great day for lunch on the Thames. Very proud of Grace

@Iewen @Motorboat_Owner @Dunkirk_Ships @bbcsoutheast Strange as Navel Pinnaces unique shape gives out very little wash. However you are missing the point, Sundowner is a war hero, your post shows no regard for the 130 lives she saved, now it is her turn to be saved. Have a read adls.org.uk/sundowner

@Motorboat_Owner @DennettBoat @Dunkirk_Ships @bbcsoutheast Won’t be watching as that particular boat shows no regard for speed limits or wash on the Thames.

ON TV Tonight📺: Look out for a feature on Dunkirk Little Ship 'Sundowner' on BBC South East news tonight at 6pm, filmed at the @DennettBoat yard. #WarVeteran @Dunkirk_Ships @bbcsoutheast

BBC South East filming at the yard today about Dunkirk Littke Ship Subdowner to catch it watch 6pm news

Dunkirk little ship @Breda1931 is on our slipway

This morning there will be a piece about Sundowner in BBC Radio Kent. Just past 8am tune in to hear about her forthcoming restoration and amazing history

Dunkirk Little Ship Sundowner arrived at our yard this morning. Moored alongside fellow DLS @Breda1931 and Gay Venture, her new home for the next few years during her restoration. We are very proud to be able to work on a boat of such historical importance.

Dunkirk 'Little Ship' which rescued 130 troops is sold for £40,000 mol.im/a/8515469 via @MailOnline

Looking forward to her arriving with us later today
