@Just_JanisB @RNLI @STyne_Council Thanks Janis. I've been corrected on other platforms but I can't update twitter. For a source I had used the Council website which states it's a replica. https://t.co/4UzKjVJ8XO

This morning we welcomed the @RNLI 200th scroll to South Shields in front of the replica lifeboat Tyne, at the town's memorial. We were met by @STyne_Council Mayor and Mayoress who flanked our crews as we signed it. Such a special experience!

On Monday evening while on training exercise, we were met by some Dolphins off the North Tyne pier! We as a crew have seen this a few times, but it's still amazing every time it happens 🐬

Last week two of our crew headed to Kensington Palace to be part of a Royal Garden party in celebration of the RNLI's 200th anniversary.
Michael and his wife Emma along with Enzo and his partner Steph were treated to finger sandwiches on the lawn while also meeting Princess Ann!
