HMS Richmond's Remembrance Day Service was held in the Caribbean Sea as the ship took a short break from Counter Drug Operations to mark the falling of Sailors, Soldiers and Airmen in past conflicts. Having been involved in the Gulf War in 2003 as part of OP TELIC, it was a poignant time for many of the Ship Company as they remembered friends, relatives and old ship mates lost in conflict. A moving occasion too for those young sailors in their first tour at sea many experiencing their first Remembrance Day Service in the Royal Navy.

The Service was led by the Ship's Church Officer, Lieutenant Jane Bowker, with a Guard from the Petty Officers' Mess and the Last Post from bugler MEA Brownlow. The service also incorporated readings from the Captain, Cdr Mike McCartain, CPOWEA Jimmy Mulvihill and CPOWEA Glyn Mortley.

HMS RICHMOND sailed for the Caribbean in June and after such a long period away had to improvise with the Poppies. The Ship's Sonar and Gyro maintainer, POWEA 'Johnno' Johnson, made poppies for the whole Ship's Company and raised £175 towards the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal.
