Flotilla Of Craft Welcome Whitby's New Lifeboat Into Town

The 'Lois Ivan', number 13-49, arrived at 13:49 today, in warm temperatures and beautiful sunshine.

The new Shannon-class lifeboat is replacing the Trent-class lifeboat which has been saving lives at sea for nearly 30 years.

The Trent-class boat will stay in Whitby for a little longer as crew need to train on the new vessel.

Dozens of people watched from the piers as the new boat arrived after its long journey from Poole.

The two lifeboats are now berthed side by side, draped in marine code flags.

Here's some of the reaction to the arrival from social media:
