This is normal for me - you are not alone

Watch a brave young member of our community take to the stage at the Royal Albert Hall to recite his poem about his experience of life with his father serving in the submarine service.  His poem came second place in the Never Such Innocence international competition and was supported by RNRMC and the First sea lord to share his experience with other young people.  

Proud of you and all connected with the silent service.

This young person was two years old when he inspired Mermaid Post,
