Pictured: Mada previously Fleury II travels down the Thames at Teddington. / Approximately 18 Dunkirk Little Ships set off from Teddington to France to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of Operation Dynamo in World War Two. Invited by the Mayor of Dunkirk, The Association of Dunkirk Little Ships has organised the event every 5 years since 1970 with this year likely to be the biggest return yet for the vessels now on average being close to 80 years old. Today (Saturday 16th May) the Little Ships set off to the Royal Docks in east London where a weekend of festivities will commemorate Operation Dynamo with departure for Ramsgate from Queenborough planned for Tuesday 19th May. The morning of the 21st of May (pending suitable weather conditions) sees the passage to Dunkirk, with vessels crossing one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. It is expected that over 50 Little Ships escorted by the RNLI and the Royal Navy will take part in the Return. // Lee Thomas, Flat 47a Park East Building, Bow Quarter, London, E3 2UT.
