Major Edwin ‘Ted’ Hunt MVO was driven to Lancing Parish Hall for his second Covid vaccination on Friday by Taxi Charity volunteer and London cabbie Mike Hughes.

He was welcomed by Andy McGregor, chairman of Adur District Council, who said: “I was delighted to meet Ted, a true hero who is doing the right thing to protect the NHS, save lives and to, of course, soldier on.”

Major Hunt commanded 15 Rhino ferries on D-Day and after the war became a Royal Waterman and was appointed Queen’s Bargemaster in 1978. He retired from royal service as a Member of the Royal Victorian Order in 1990.
