Llandudno RNLI lifeboat comes home for Christmas

Standing-in at Llandudno during the Andy Pearce's absence has been the RNLI relief fleet lifeboat Lady of Hilbre, formerly stationed at Hoylake.

With the Andy's return meaning her duties at Llandudno were now complete, Lady of Hilbre launched from the north shore slipway for the last time on Wednesday morning bound for Conwy Marina, there to await further relief duty elsewhere on the coast.
