The world’s first underwater arrest

Looking back at the history of the Channel Islands for the week beginning 30 December. This week:

• The owners of Guernsey zoo put their park and all of its animals on the market.
• Jersey’s first ever weather observation is made, and the island experiences its lowest ever temperature.
• Alderney residents elect their first president, and two representatives to sit in the States of Deliberation.
• A Jersey hero is recognised for his extraordinary bravery during the occupation.
• Guernsey’s governor is almost killed when lightning strikes Castle Cornet.
• …and Guernsey Police makes the world’s first ever underwater arrest.
