Lt-Governor will depart in style

INSTEAD of driving his car onto a ferry like some of his predecessors, Guernsey's Lt-Governor will say goodbye to the Bailiwick in style next week by helicopter and destroyer.

Sir Fabian and Lady Malbon's five-year stay on the island will come to an end on Wednesday - the same day that Guernsey's affiliated warship, HMS Daring, is due to be in Bailiwick waters.

To honour Sir Fabian's position as a vice admiral, Daring will send its Lynx helicopter on a special mission to land at Government House.

After it has dropped a liaison officer off in the garden, the Lynx will take off again. Meanwhile, representatives of the Royal Court, the States, the emergency services and youth organisations will be gathering outside Government House.
