The current internet incarnation of Radio Caroline threw a big party on 8th March 2014 to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the launch of the station. Unfortunately, due to a family emergency,
The Pirate Radio Hall of Fame was unable to attend but we are very grateful to Norah Barnes, Mark Dezzani, Chris Pearson and Clive Smith for allowing
us to publish their photos of the event. Happy 50th birthday Radio Caroline.
