Sunday Best and Seaplanes - Monkton and Pembroke Dock


It’s a fine day in Monkton, and youngsters in their Sunday best pour from the church towards the camera, pleased to stretch legs in the sunshine after their confinement. After posing it’s time to amble, or run, along the quiet streets, which exude a Sunday feel. Suddenly however, the focus is on the famous flying boats in Pembroke Dock, serene and stately on the water. It may be their Sunday, too!
