The children of a Manx woman are thanking the Steam Packet for saluting and honouring their mother on her final journey home. Described as a 'Manx Viking Queen', Florence Jean Prest (formally Looney) died in her UK home surrounded by her children at the age of 94. Her wish was to be brought back to the Island and laid to rest alongside her parents at Kirk Braddan Cemetry.
