Interview with Kate Smith, Ambassador to Greece and Bobby Gee, from Island FM more on the memorial service to honour Themis Marinos.

In an interview with Kate Smith, arriving on our Island celebrating the 75th Anniversary of operation “Dastard” she talked about the history of the operation and whilst speaking to Bobby Gee about the memorial service it was a nice surprise to have Themis Marinos son, Anthony Marinos. He thanked the British people for paying respect to his father and then told a personal story about the time his father told him about the operation.

 

The memorial service was today and although the weather was not the best, the turn out was an excellent one.
