Hide AdA special thank you goes also to George and Ailsa Shiel, of Golden Gate Farne Island Boat Trips, who generously donated a sailing around the Farne Islands to the RNLI.
Several lifeboat crew accompanied the paying passengers, and the inshore lifeboat escorted the ‘Golden Gate’ for part of its voyage.
George and Ailsa were presented with some wine and flowers in gratitude from the Seahouses lifeboat crew on their return to the harbour.
The event was held in the absence due to Covid restrictions of the traditional RNLI fete on bank holiday Monday. However, Stormy Sam, The RNLI mascot, still put in an appearance.
