The Shannon lifeboat and inshore lifeboats were on display on the apron in front of the boathouse, with crew present to answer questions and queries from the many visitors.

Water Safety Officers, Lynsey Carr and Iain Saunders handed out safety advice and leaflets, while RNLI Mascot, Stormy Stan was on hand to welcome younger visitors.

In addition to the usual refreshments including cream teas, and a well supported tombola, there was entertainment from the Seahouses Village Voices Choir.

Despite a brief short rain shower, the sun came out and helped make the day an enjoyable one. The Event raised an excellent £684.60 for RNLI funds.

The crew would like to like to thank all who supported the event and helped make it a success, and hope to repeat the event in the future.
