Norman at a Naval Function

The Archive realised that this was some form of Naval function which Norman and Hilda Barwick attended. Roger Barwick assisted with: “I can’t help much with names but the occasion may be the visit of HMS Diomede in June 1981 to Middlesbrough. I have a small commemorative ash tray which was presented to my Mam, which is apt really when you look carefully at the photograph and it is probably Commander Pepe sat between my Mam and Norman.”

Another Ball?

We asked: “Were you at this function, if not do you know any of the people there?” Ray Tough advised: “Norman Lantsbery was second from right on back row and Doris Lantsbery was sat in front of him.” Further assistance with where, when and who would be gratefully received.
