60 London black cabs head to Worthing in convoy for annual veterans day out
London cab drivers are gearing up to bring more than 100 veterans to Worthing for the annual day trip that has been taking place since 1948.
Chelsea Pensioners in their iconic scarlet coats and other veterans will be transported to the south coast by 60 volunteer drivers on Tuesday, July 5.
Taxis and veterans will gather in South Holmwood village, near Dorking, 9am for homemade sandwiches, cakes and refreshments.
When they arrive at approximately 12pm, they will be served a meal of fish and chips, followed by strawberries and cream, at the Pavilion Theatre, along with entertainment.
Apart from during the pandemic, the Taxi Charity has been taking veterans to Worthing for the day every year since 1948, to spend time with their friends and enjoy a meal and entertainment.
