“Danny more or less started the conversation with ‘I have a tattoo of your boat!’.
“Obviously curious, but with no small amount of caution we asked ‘can we see it?’
“After talking some more both before and after the cruise, we had learnt that Danny had brought Peter, his grandad, to Bridlington from the Isle of Wight. Peter grew up in Hull and wanted to revisit the area again so had made the long trip up.

“This last year has been tough, with the pandemic, the uncertainty, and the hate and ridicule we’ve received and continue to receive from some for our appeal.
“But moments like this, hearing what Belle means to other people, they really make it all worthwhile.”
