Act of remembrance for HMS St George

Short service, silence and wreath laying to honour those who trained at HMS St George

An act of remembrance will take place shortly to honour Royal Navy sailors who trained at HMS St George during the Second World War.

The Royal Naval Association's Isle of Man branch will hold a service at the commemorative plaque on Victoria Road in Douglas, opposite Tesco.

HMS St George was a training facility local in Douglas between 1939 and 1945, and was the Navy's only continuous service training establishment.

Those wishing to attend are asked to arrive between 10.30am and 10.35am.

The Lieutenant Governor will be in attendance, with the service including a one-minute silence and wreath laying.
