Our crews from @DunmoreEastRNLI, @KilmoreQuayRNLI and @RosslareRNLI have been blown away by the response to the rescue of the Lily B cargo ship in 6m swells, with almost £6,000 donated so far, and they just wanted to say a big thank you 🙏

The combined might of three lifeboats was required yesterday to save a stricken 4,000-tonne ship in huge seas off the Irish coast. An amazing job by the volunteers of @DunmoreEastRNLI, @KilmoreQuayRNLI & @RosslareRNLI, who successfully battled for 12 hours to save the vessel.

Today should have been the day the world started watching the finest athletes compete for Bronze, Silver and Gold. Instead, we wanted to take this chance to celebrate our medal winners and their incredible feats of bravery in conditions some of us can't even imagine...

[RNLI @RNLI]

The first weekend of beach patrols in England consisted of multiple rescues, major first aid & countless preventative actions, all while our lifeguards adhered to social distancing measures & wore appropriate PPE. More lifeguards will be returning to beaches in the coming weeks.

The government may have set out plans on easing lock down. They may have made suggestions that cost lives!
Please be mindful that open water including reservoirs hold many hidden dangers which is why @unitedutilities do not allow swimming in there reservoirs. #60SecondsOfSummer
