A Day to Treasure..

In recognition of the fantastic fund-raising team at Filey Lifeboat Station and following a nomination of the Filey Ladies Lifeboat Guild for the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, both Caroline and Gina were invited to a Garden Party at Buckingham Palace.

Representing the whole of the Filey Lifeboat Station family, they had a fantastic afternoon in wonderful sunshine at the Palace and have done both the RNLI and particularly Filey Lifeboat justly proud.

John Ward, Filey Lifeboat Press Officer, said: “The whole station is absolutely thrilled that our fund-raising teams should be recognised in this way and an afternoon Garden Party at Buckingham Palace is a truly deserved and unique way to celebrate the achievements here in Filey.”
