It is with the greatest sadness that we advise you that early today (Monday 12 June) the irrepressible, warm and wonderful Geoff Payne crossed his final finish line. Geoff was an incredible supporter of the BOD fleet, famously owning Viking for a number of years. 

Our thoughts are with his wife Margaret, sons John, Andrew and Stephen and his family and friends. 

We will share details of the funeral when they are available.
