Filey Bids Farewell to All-Weather Lifeboat

It's the end of an era for the town's lifesaving vessel, after 29 years of service.

Sunday morning sees the final launch of Filey's all-weather lifeboat.

It's going to be replaced by the 50-mile-per-hour inshore lifeboat, Atlantic 85.

The new lifeboat will help reach casualties quicker and act as a first responder.

John Ward from the RNLI has a warning for anyone coming along to watch.

John says the new boat will be faster and better-equipped to assist casualties.
