Ian Fleming’s nieces, Kate Grimond (nee Fleming) and Lucy Fleming, said:
“Ian Fleming’s family are delighted to support the Seafarers’ Midsummer Night Gala. The evening promises to be a splendid affair, and we wish Seafarers UK every success in raising funds to continue its vital role of supporting those in need within the maritime community. Ian Fleming’s own career in Naval Intelligence played a very important role in his life – without it James Bond may never have been created.”
