Thinking about it, it may have been the Festival of Remembrance on Saturday evening, as I am sure they were talking to war widows at the time. Very poignant.
I went to the RMA rememberance, it had a massive turnout 😉 Anna

Coincidentally, I was watching a programme on TV last night (possibly Songs of Praise?) where this very sub and its tragic loss was mentioned.

Here you go :
Snapper S2 39S, N39 39 14-Jun-35 HMDY Chatham 12-Feb-41 War Loss
Portsmouth 1935, Med 36-39. Home 1939. 12-Apr-40. Sank Moonsund by gunfire in the Skagerrak. 14-Apr-40. Sank the minesweepers, Behrens and C Jansen in the Kattegat, and possibly damaged a merchant vessel of 7,500 tons in the Skagerrak. 3-Jul-40. Sank the merchant ship Cygnus, 1,300 tons. 29-Jan-41. Sailed from the Clyde on her thirteenth patrol to an area off Ushant, Bay of Biscay, commanded for the first time by Lt Prowse, in lieu of Lt Commander King DSO, her usual CO, who was in hospital. Left her escort at Land’s End, but not heard from again and failed to rendezvous on 12-Feb. Possibly went down in German minefield, though a submarine attacked the German minesweepers M2, M13 and M25 on the night of the 10/11th Feb in the area where she might have been, and was subjected to a counter-attack in which 56 depth charges were dropped. She did not return to base – no signals were acknowledged after this date. This attack is the most likely cause of her loss. There were no survivors.
