The Rugby World Cup, the
Webb Ellis Trophy, arrived at Poole quay on a Sunseeker aptly called
"Sweet Chariot" as part of its tour
of the country.
Escorted by two white-gloved heavily built minders
it was reputedly insured for £48 million!
There was just enough time for photo with the crews
of Poole and Weymouth (a few kids got in too - the crews aren't
THAT young!).
Weymouth Lifeboat crew then took the Cup aboard
their severn class Lifeboat to continue its journey around the country
and both Poole Lifeboats escorted them to the harbour entrance. |
