During World War II, the RNLI launched 3,760 times saving 6,376 lives by responding to a wide range of wartime emergencies. RNLI crews faced immense dangers, battling bombs and bullets while rescuing downed airmen, towing vessels and even participating in the Dunkirk evacuation. They rescued both Allied and enemy personnel. In recognition of their gallantry, some lifeboatmen were awarded medals.

The photograph of this beautiful RNLI 200 “With Courage” rose has been submitted by Suzanne Riley, daughter of the late Yvonne Riley. The rose was purchased by members of the Albrighton fund raising committee for Yvonne’s 85th birthday last year and is now flourishing in Suzanne’s garden. A great tribute to Yvonne.
