Her Majesty’s self sacrifice and devotion to duty, the Commonwealth and our Country is a example to us all. It resonates with the sacrifice of so many in the Battle of the Atlantic. Ma’am you have been an inspiration! Fair winds and following seas, rest in peace.

On behalf of the Battle of the Atlantic Memorial Charity we offer our deepest condolences to our Patron, The Princess Royal and all the Royal Family on the sad passing of her Majesty the Queen, her Mother and our Monarch.

The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.

A campaign to create a national memorial to the Battle of the Atlantic in #Merseyside has secured a £1.25m donation - Liverpool Business News ⁦@BattleAtlantic⁩ lbndaily.co.uk/1-25m-boost-fo…

BOAM chairman @GDoyle560 said: “We are delighted to receive this donation but there could not be a more poignant time for us to unveil these plans. We want the memorial to act as a warning especially now to Russia and future generations of the consequences of conflict in Europe

The third element to receive funding is @LiverpoolParish Our Lady and St Nicholas on the Pier Head, known as the sailors’ church. The funding will be used to create a Garden of Reflection to remember those who died and served, in the longest running battle of World War Two

We're delighted to announce new plans for the BOAM on Merseyside today. Following a successful bid the Naval Club in London is awarding us £1.25m to create a national memorial to the BOA in Liverpool and Birkenhead honouring the 100,000 who died in battle battleoftheatlantic.org/funding-boost-…

Quick final update from @Big_Heritage director Dean on what we are trying to achieve with this project.

It's November 11th. Why not take some time today to watch #WhoseHistory film 'Hey Joe' and remember those Black merchant seamen who lost their lives during the Second World War? @BritishLegionRX @HelpforHeroes @BattleAtlantic #RemembranceDay2021 liverpool.ac.uk/irish-studies/…

@propellerists @WestApproaches @BattleAtlantic @sue_hen My grandad Stanley Curtis was chief steward in the merchant navy in ww2- survived being torpedoed three times and spent 40 days in an open lifeboat at sea before being rescued. Also escaped from being taken prisoner in Timbuktu… wish I’d met him 🙏 #sacrifice
