Youngsters learn more about life-saving charity
Children at Embleton's Vincent Edwards Primary School learnt about the RNLI, thanks to a special visit from a D-Class lifeboat.
The vessel, which is from the Lifeboat Collage, has been used at Craster Lifeboat Station for capsize training.
Local operations manager Kevin Brown said: “It’s great to be able to let the children get into the boat and see the equipment for themselves. You can talk about a lot of what goes on in the RNLI, but if you let the children see for themselves, especially the younger ones, I think they take it in better.
