Grimsby’s hosting of a special exhibition to mark 750 years of the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers provided an opportune location for industry leaders to pay their respects at the passing of the Queen.
A large portrait by Pietro Annigoni, a copy of the original hanging in Fishmongers’ Hall, is the focal point of the Grimsby Fishing Heritage Centre display. And it provided a poignant backdrop as royal connections were remembered.
Company liveryman Wynne Griffiths CBE, former chief executive of Young’s Seafood, and Grimsby Fish Merchants’ Association secretariat Simon Dwyer were joined by Fishermen’s Mission superintendent and mission area officer Suesan Brown, who led a prayer ahead of a minute’s silence.
