This week I’ve searched on an @RNLI lifeboat for someone missing. I know nothing about them, where they are from or anything about them yet I did my upmost. Sadly, not everyone can be saved, but I’ll do my upmost to help those in need without judgement. #ProudOfOurCrowd

[RNLI @RNLI]

We're proud of the lifesaving work our volunteers do in the Channel – we make no apology for it. Those we rescue are vulnerable people in danger & distress. Each of them is someone’s father, mother, son or daughter - every life is precious. This is why we launch:

@alanshearer @GaryLineker An end of an era. MOTD won’t be the same. Great to meet you last week Gary and all the best for the future.

Tonight’s show @RoyalAlbertHall is in aid of the @RNLI, who this year celebrate their 200th anniversary!

And we’re lucky enough to have with us some of their incredible volunteers, who make their vital work possible.

@TicketmasterCS Sure, Stereophonics at Principality in Cardiff on 12th July 2025. Any help / advice is appreciated. 🙏

[Dave @daveriley12]

@TicketmasterCS Bought tickets for my partner and her friend as a gift and want to transfer them via app but it’s greyed out - what should I do?

[Dave @daveriley12]

@TicketmasterCS 🤷‍♂️ so the tickets I bought as gifts may not be able to be used unless I go? Or we just wait in limbo? Surely you must be able to tell if this will be an option?

[RNLI @RNLI]

Our Swim Safe programme we've facilitated with @Swim_England since 2013 is set to expand this year by 30,000 spaces thanks to the @RYA.

The free sessions are aimed at 7-14 year olds and teach vital lifesaving skills such as how to #FloatToLive

An incredible day yesterday taking part in a special service at @wabbey celebrating the @RNLI’s 200th birthday.

It was a humbling and incredible experience. The buzz among the 2000 RNLI people in attendance was amazing, each one playing a part to help save lives at sea.

[Dave @daveriley12]

A beautiful start to the day ready for a very special @RNLI event.
