Fisherman's Memorial in Newlyn to mark National Fishing Remembrance Day

Sunday saw a very poignant service held at the Fisherman's Memorial in Newlyn to mark National Fishing Remembrance Day. 

Established in 2024 and organised in partnership with the Fishermen’s Mission, The Seafarers’ Charity, Stella Maris, Seafish, and the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, National Fishing Remembrance Day is a day of reflection and commemoration for those who have lost their lives in the UK fishing industry.

During the service the names of 119 fishermen who have lost their lives at sea were read out.
