Ruby Princess

The weather has got a bit cooler than the past month but still a lovely calm morning met the Ruby Princess as she arrived at the anchorage on a round Britain trip. St Peter Port is her first port of call after leaving Southampton yesterday afternoon where her guests will enjoy a half day visit. The anchor had not even dropped before the shore party were on their tender to set up at the liner pontoon for the first arrivals.

Guests on board the Ruby Princess had the opportunity to have their photo taken with a English Icon, not quite Guernsey though, more suited to the Tower of London.

The image above was taken from the ferry to Sark, where today they commemorated the 100 year anniversary of the start of World War 1 with a special church service. They also tied red sashes around the graves of Sark Men who returned from the war and later died in Sark. Those who did not die in Sark were remembered with these crosses. With no cars on the island, the full church was surrounded by cycles.
