Navy divers to receive Freedom of Orkney honour - The Orcadian Online

Navy divers to receive Freedom of Orkney honour May 5, 2021 at 12:47 pm The Royal Navy Northern Diving Group will have the Freedom of Orkney bestowed upon them in recognition of the group’s historic connection in commemorating those lost in the sinking of the HMS Royal Oak. Every year, the divers change the White Ensign on the wreck of the Royal Oak which was torpedoed while at anchor in Scapa Flow on October 14, 1939, with the loss of 835 lives. Due to COVID restrictions, 2020 was the first year since the recovery of the ship’s bell in 1982 that the northern diving group was not able to change the White Ensign and pay tribute to those who lost their lives.

Thank you for signing up to The Press and Journal newsletter. Something went wrong - please try again later. Sign Up His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh had a long and happy connection with Moray and we have been fortunate to see him here on many occasions. While at Gordonstoun School he learnt a great deal about Moray and so many places were familiar to him. He was Honorary Air Commodore of Royal Air Force Kinloss until it closed. He visited the Base regularly and came with Her Majesty the Queen to visit 39 Engineer Regiment and RAF Lossiemouth. I recall one of his detectives saying to me that coming down to Moray from Balmoral with the Duke of Edinburgh was like having your own tourist guide. He knew so much about the whole area.
