Our station isn’t quite open to the public yet, but we can make an exception for this little family 🦆🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥 #lifeboats #rnli #savinglivesatsea #London
Happy birthday D class! Our newest boat, a D class Civil Service 54, was recently officially handed over to our good friends @CromerRNLI
Happy Birthday to the D class! 🎂
Did you know that the D class lifeboat is 60 years old? The first service of our inshore lifeboats was our D class @aberlifeboat. Six decades later they're still saving lives.

Not all #RNLI rescue facilities are on the coast. @TowerRNLI #London #RiverThames is the RNLI's busiest UK station. On call 24/7, 365 days a yr. On 23 June it's newly refurbished home (pontoon & crew facilities) were opened by HRH Duke of Kent #DrownngPrevention @LondonPortAuth
There’s a great new video about @TowerRNLI’s 10,000th launch. Take a look: rnli.org/news-and-media/2023…
Do new lifeboats have a new lifeboat smell like a new car does? 😎
Cracking day training today on the new @WHITBYRNLI lifeboat. Even made a trip to see our neighbours @RNLI_Staithes for lunch. #rnli #whitby

Today is the official naming ceremony of the Wells #RNLI Shannon Class lifeboat, 'Duke of Edinburgh'. The @FundLifeboat raised over £1m for the new lifeboat. The Civil Service charity is the RNLI's longest -standing contributor and its single biggest donor.

As we enjoy the warm weather over the next few weeks, please remember and share @RNLI advice – if you get into trouble in the water, Float To Live.
Tilt your head back with ears submerged 👂
Relax and try to control your breathing 🫁
Move your hands to help you stay afloat ✋
