We were very proud and honoured to be asked to take part in the #PoppiesToPaddington tribute for Remembrance Day.
Nine GWR trains are carrying poppy wreaths from Penzance to Paddington to be laid at the war memorial as part of a remembrance service.

Last week, The first Poppy Wreath of The Veterans Charity departed the mainland to head to the Isles of Scilly on board MV Scillonian III. The wreath was presented by a Tri Service group of veterans to the Lord Lieutenant of Cornwall, Colonel Edward Bolitho OBE, who then presented it to the Captain of the Scillonian III for safe passage to the Isles of Scilly.

The veterans saw the Scillonian III safely pass the Penzance war memorial as she headed to the Isles of Scilly to visit their local war memorial and veterans community.

The wreath was then returned via Skybus on Saturday as Royal Air Force veteran and oldest veteran on the Isles of Scilly "Smudge" handed the wreath to one our Skybus Captain's, also supported by Devon & Cornwall Police

Join the service live at 1030 today on the GWR Facebook page and #RememberAtHome

“Remarkably, Scillonian maintained a near-perfect sailing record throughout the Second World War. Between 1939 and 1945, Captain Reseigh and his crew completed 1,552 crossings. Only one sailing was cancelled, due to exceptionally bad weather on 17th December 1942.”
