In the midst of Storm Francis on Tuesday, Donaghadee Lifeboat were paged to reports of a yacht in trouble. Huge waves? Force 8 gale? That didn't stop these volunteers...

Thanks to our partner Ford UK for sharing this important safety message. If you're heading to the coast this weekend, stay safe!

40 years ago Shirley started volunteering in the RNLI shop, husband Don started volunteering later the same year. Today they were recognised with a marvellous pair of long service awards from RNLI, what an achievement! Thanks for all your hard work.

Huge congratulations to Denise Lynch, who has become our first female volunteer lifeboat coxswain in Ireland 👏 Denise has served at Fenit RNLI since 2001, having fallen in love with lifeboats on a visit to the station as a primary school pupil.

.PortrushRNLI launched yesterday (Fri 25) into rough conditions after a member of public called 999 reporting a person in the water. A lifeboat crewmember entered the water, grabbed the teenager & helped recover him safely onto the lifeboat. If you see someone in trouble, ☎ 999

Not sure how other ⁦RNLI⁩ stations do it, but here in #hastings we’ve got pretty good at getting ready in a hurry........

Tonight on #savinglivesatsea at 8 on BBC2 you can hear from the crew, listen to audio from the wheelhouse and watch footage taken from the mast camera on board when we went out in storm #Ciara back in February.

Today is the 205th birthday of Grace Darling, a lighthouse keeper's daughter who risked her life to help the stranded steamship Forfarshire wreck survivors. Happy birthday to a courageous, brave, extraordinary woman, who will always be remembered and cherished.

RNLI Hastings Lifeboat Probably the scariest sortie I have seen. I take my hat off to every one of you. Six lives risked for one reckless fool. I hope he has donated A LOT. #heroes

Remembering the brave & courageous crew of the Solomon Browne lifeboat who made the ultimate sacrifice on 19 December 1981. Their courage, dedication & determination serves as a beacon to us all 💙 #greaterlovehathnoman #ON954 #volunteers RNLI

Overcharged Tesco and advice is to return to store for refund. Aren’t we supposed to be staying home unless absolutely necessary?

After 42 years at his newspaper stand by the clocktower in Crouch End, having taken over from his Dad and his grandfather, Paul Saxton is closing the page and retiring. A real pleasure to say thank you and goodbye!

ILB helm glenn barry is celebrating 30 years volunteering for @rnli this week, that’s longer than some of the other crews ages. Let’s hope it doesn’t make him feel old. What a fantastic achievement!

Ordered my Keith Gibbons last Wednesday for travel tomorrow. Dispatched last Thursday. Hasn’t arrived. 25 mins on the phone but no one answered. What do I do?

Nightmare journey tonight Southeastern due to #HitherGreen was on 18.08 CX to Hastings but our guard did his best. Regular updates to say no update given with humour. Yes, 90 min delay on journey but what can you do? Glad train had sockets for a change
