Since our visit to The War Tunnels, Wilson has felt quite a connection to Jersey and its people. Today he said he wanted to re-visit the statues in Freedom Square, so he could demonstrate his solidarity with the Jersey Islanders.
Once we arrived he stood amongst the bronze figures and, paraphrasing the late President Kennedy, shouted at the top of his voice, 'Ich bin eine Jersey!' He then raised one paw aloft in the universal gesture of fraternity and asked me to take his photo.
It was a very moving moment… although I'm pretty sure W's shouted slogan translates as 'I am a pullover!'
Then back to St Brelade's bay for another wonderful dinner on our last full day on Jersey.
