The 200th Anniversary of the RNLI has been marked with a series of special photographs.
RNLI volunteers and family from Lifeboat stations along the Yorkshire Coast took part in special photo shoot yesterday to mark the charity’s 200th anniversary year and create a photographic record of those involved with the lifesaving charity in this, its 200th anniversary year.
The charity, which was founded in 1824, asked its volunteers and staff from around the UK and Ireland to take part in One Moment for One Crew by taking a photo of themselves, their crew or their team, at as close to 18:24 on 1.8.24 as possible.
Whether lifeguards on a beach, lifeboat crew at a station, fundraisers at an event, or volunteers in a museum – all involved with the charity have been encouraged to submit a photo of themselves representing their RNLI role at wherever they may be on this date and time.
in Whitby the lifeboat team and supporters assembled on the lifeboat and the pier.
In Flamborough the RNLI lifeboat crew, shore crew, fundraisers, shop volunteers and staff took part in the event. Following the photo shoot participants and their families attended a BBQ at South Landing.

"It was a great opportunity for all involved with Flamborough RNLI to gather socially for this special occasion in the history of the RNLI".
