TO mark the RNLI's 200th anniversary on Monday, March 4, volunteers at the Burnham-on-Sea lifeboat station celebrated in many ways.
Local volunteers Helmsman Tim Johnson, Launch Authority Lyndon Baker and trainee Launch Authority Nigel Morton were invited to the official RNLI Thanksgiving Service in Westminster.
Ade, Ashley and many others, including the shop volunteers, manned the station for an open ‘Brew with the Crew’ from 10:30am -2:30pm.
In recent weeks through his full time work, lifeboat crew Daren helped to support the liaison for the official BT Tower in London to display the brilliant commemorative RNLI message for all to see.
Speaking on his day at Westminster, Launch Authority Nigel Morton said: "It was a huge privilege to be at Westminster Abbey today, as a member of the Burnham RNLI team, celebrating the incredible achievements of 200 years of saving lives at sea - and inspiring that service today and into the future."
