We are saddened to hear of the death of Cpl Jon Ward. Jon had supported us for a number of years, with some incredible running challenges including running 100 marathons in a year to mark the RAF 100 as well as becoming the first person to run the North East 250 tourist trail.

"As the Forces' Sweetheart, Vera Lynn inspired a generation of serving personnel & the wider public during WW2. She went on to champion their cause in the decades since, right up to the VE Day 75 celebrations last month. A true hero for the heroes she supported.” AVM Chris Elliot

“We had hoped to celebrate the 75th anniversary of #VEDay at Princess Marina House, but unfortunately social distancing rules mean this isn’t possible. Instead, we decided to take the celebrations to our guests.”

At Princess Marina we always put our guests first. People travel from many parts of the country and as many are older and have care needs we have taken the difficult decision to cancel stays, suspend bookings and stop Lunch Club. Go to https://t.co/JTZSjMR0Oo for more info.

Seeing the struggles that Wellies tearooms are having on BBC news last night, Rustington business man Mark Rockliffe took action. He called them and offered to pay for afternoon tea to be delivered to Princess Marina House for all of the guests and staff. Thank you Mark @RAFBF
