Yes, yes, I know it’s a link to the Telegraph, but this chap has to have been one of the great British (or Sealandish) eccentrics.

Prince Roy Obituary

Amazing tale 😀 thanks for posting that.

Yes. What a top class bonkers head. RIP indeed. We need more people like him in the world. Love his completely pioneering attitude.

Prince roy………..MC!!!!!!!
Nt many will have stories to tell like that chap!
RIP gunner.

Brilliant, truly brilliant. 😀

Bonkers indeed.

I saw a great documentary on him and his ‘home’ a year or two ago. It’s not this one but might still be available somewhere.

Just stumbled across this independently of STW.

Brilliant tale, what a legend of a chap.

There’s a book called ‘Attention all shipping’ about the shipping forecast and the author went to Sealand.
What a great thing to do, apparently just for shits and giggles.
I fancy moving to Rockall and doing the same thing…

Thanks. Enjoyed reading that

Brilliant. Reminds me of many a tree stump as a kid. Should have made a flag.

Awesome life story!

Mad as a badger! Bet fighting off a German invasion went down REALLY well in Whitehall. Cracking story.
