‘Trident’ in Ilkley

An unusual Quaker craft project was unveiled on 10 May. A Trident submarine, made by Friends from Leeds and Ilkley Meetings, ‘set sail’ on Ilkley Moor boating lake as part of an ongoing peace protest against the renewal of Trident nuclear weapons.

As it was too big for the Meeting house garden in Ilkley, Friends young and young-at-heart took the submarine up a steep hill to the local boating lake.
