A night to remember: honouring two centuries of RNLI service
An evening of celebration, community, and charity marked the RNLI’s 200th anniversary, raising vital funds for lifesaving efforts.
The event brought together local businesses, supporters, and volunteers to honour the RNLI's legacy. Attendees were treated to a three-course meal, a raffle, and an auction, along with music and entertainment by the remarkable AJ Kay.
A highlight of the evening was a speech by Vince Jones, RNLI Coxswain from Moelfre Lifeboat Station, who shared his personal experiences and insights about the organisation.
The celebration was a resounding success, raising an impressive £3,500 for the charity.
Luke Heritage, Mechanic and Deputy Lifeboat Press Officer said:
'We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended, as well as those who played a role in organising and executing the event, including the dedicated staff at The Quay Hotel.
'This was a brilliant night had by all in a very special year for our lifesaving charity.'
