The send off on 6 October included a 06.00 ‘Big Breakfast’ in Canary Wharf for all those involved: the Hackney Carriage Drivers, the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs, donors and, of course, children and families, and a band. The convoy (three miles long) set off, escorted by English and French police, the AA, and support services and made its way to the Channel Ferry, led by the Master Hackney Carriage Driver and the organiser, Phil Davis, who has made it all happen for 24 years. They returned the following Sunday.
The photo shows the Water Conservators’ taxi, our driver and the family - and Peter Hall, to whom I am most grateful for representing me, just before leaving the East Wintergarden.
