Today we remember the courage & sacrifice of Coastguard Winchman Billy Deacon. 27 years ago today, he tragically gave his life, while rescuing the crew of the Green Lily. He saved 10 lives that day, but lost his own moments after ensuring the last crew members were safe. #Hero

First Christmas in the new job and while the crew room Christmas tree has had limited attention, there are other epic Christmas decorations that make up for it #DieHardIsAChristmasMovie. #TimeForACuppa

43 years ago, eight brave crew members RNLI Penlee Lifeboat launched in treacherous conditions to aid the Union Star. Tragically, 16 people lost their lives that night. This is the crew's story told by their children. It's also a tale of hope and community resilience. #RNLI #OTD

2025 well underway starting with the New Year Dook at Rhu Marina with participants braving the frigid waters, swimming from the pontoons to RNLI Helensburgh Lifeboat slipway. All the Volunteer Crew providing safety cover & hundreds of supporters watching on despite the weather

Quite something to see the sky on Night Shift tonight. The difference getting even 1 mile away from the street lights makes is staggering. Chilly though! Clear skies and 0ยฐC. Shot on an IPhone 15Pro. Must be #TimeForACuppa to warm up โ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿช
