Prime Minister Theresa May Leaves a Big Thank‑You Note to the Heroes Who Pulled Out the Trapped Kids
On a sunny July 24, the Prime Minister rooned the gates of 10 Downing Street for a special party that celebrated the courage of the divers who snagged 12 Thai schoolkids and their football coach from a flooded cave.
When a Flood Turns a Playground Into a Maze
- June 23 – The boys, 25‑year‑old coach, and a few teammates wander into Tham Luang cave after football practice.
- Suddenly, the rainstorms coat the cave, turning the bright tunnels into an underground water park.
- It took a combined effort of Thai Navy SEALs and international diving experts to haul everyone out in just three days.
A Royal Reception with a Dash of International Flair
During the reception, Thai Ambassador Pisanu Suvanaja was the class act, posing for a photo with May and a crew of divers, all standing in front of Downing Street’s iconic black door. The scene reminded us that when life floods our way, we’re all better off fighting for each other.
Theresa May’s Words to the Diving Team
- “If the story had crossed your mind, maybe you’d have just stayed on the sidelines – but you decided to leap into action.”
- “The world was watching your every move, and I think I can speak for everyone when I say a massive thank‑you.”
In short, Theresa May from the front office found the right mix of humbled respect, formal praise, and a splash of cheer – a perfect cocktail for celebrating the uncanny bravery and sheer persistence of these underwater champs.
