Dove of Peace part 4
Reflecting on the occasion, Tim Waggott, Chief Executive, Port of Dover, said:
“This wonderful event is a seminal moment for the Port, its commitment to its community and for the future use of such an historic building. This is the culmination of much work with a great many partners and is the launch pad for a new era for this place. Seeing so many members of our community come and be part of our shared story is simply wonderful.”
The installation of the Dove of Peace is part of the Port of Dover’s commitment to commemorating both World War I and II. The Cruise Terminal 1 building, which hosted the event, played a significant role as a staging post during both world wars for troops leaving to fight and returning home, and actually saw troops and supplies heading to the Western Front as its first passengers.
