A Royal Navy recruit had the surprise of his life when his mum turned up for his passing-out parade, after a fellow trainee paid for her flight from the Caribbean.
Recruit Quaci Crosby was among the latest group of trainee sailors celebrating the end of their 10-week basic training at HMS Raleigh in Cornwall on Friday.
He had no idea his mum, Althea, would be among the group of families and friends invited to the parade. Unknown to him, his classmate Recruit Cameron Hawes, had secretly paid for and organised his mum’s flight so she could be there for her son’s big day.
