Shop staffed by volunteers to raise funds for Fleetwood RNLI - a marine rescue service around the northern Fylde Coast and Morecambe Bay. Tweets by Lynda
We have 46 lifeboat stations in Ireland and 11 lifeguarded beaches in Northern Ireland. To mark #StPatricksDay, we’d like to thank all our dedicated volunteers and supporters, who have been #SavingLivesAtSea there since 1826.
On this day 50 years ago, eight lifeboatmen set out into a storm and never returned.
The story of the Longhope lifeboat is one of tragedy, but also one of inspirational strength. Today we pay tribute to all those who have served at this remarkable station.
