Today is Merchant Navy Day. We recognize the hardworking seafarers and maritime professionals who spend days and months away from home to keep global trade moving across the oceans. Through two World Wars thousands of men of the Merchant Navy risked their lives against the U-Boat and wartime dangers. Today we salute their courage and their sacrifice.

At times relations can feel difficult but it's important to remember that our roots and our shared ideals are deeper than the here and now. What better way to express that than hearing the Band of the Coldstream Guards playing to honour the late Queen of Country, Dolly Parton.

Well today we got all of our Lady Haig's Poppy Factory Poppy grave markers packaged up. In the next few weeks they will be shipped out to volunteers across the country as part of our annual war grave visit program. Our volunteers will visit every Commonwealth War Graves Commission in the USA.

Many thanks to Ian Lester for organizing today's event and our dear friends at Old North Church & Historic Site for allowing us to use their Parish Room for the occasion.

Tomorrow we will start the process of packing Poppy grave markers made by Lady Haig's Poppy Factory to distribute to our volunteers across the United States. These will then be placed on every Commonwealth War Graves Commission grave in the USA.

If you would like to volunteer or if you are an existing volunteer and need to provide us with your updated details please send us a message.

Great to see the RAF Red Arrows over Boston Harbor today. So special to see them flying over Canadian Schooner Bluenose II.

07/10/2026

As part of the America 250 celebrations RAF Red Arrows are in Boston. Three members of the Royal Air Force display team took time out this afternoon to attend the Commonwealth War Graves Commission graves at Everett, MA. A short service of Remembrance was organized by our BCRPUSA volunteers. Rev Matthew Cadwell of Old North Church & Historic Site led the prayers and the Red Arrows laid two poppy wreaths (made by Royal British Legion) on the graves of aircrew. The bugle sounded the Last Post across the still air and two minutes of silence was observed.

"At the going down of the sun,
and in the morning we will remember them."

Ahead of our display at the FourLeaf Air Show today, we had the honour of flying a joint formation flypast alongside our friends the RAF Red Arrows. Two teams, two nations, one long lasting friendship across the Commonwealth.
