Mr Walter Jones, a retired miner, of Nottingham, was so impressed by the courage of lifeboatmen he saved a little each week from his pension to leave to the Bridlington lifeboat. It was his favourite holiday resort and he would go nowhere else.

When he died he left £50 to the Bridlington branch, and Mrs Betty Worth, his daughter, travelled specially to Bridlington to give the cheque. Mrs Worth said: 'We did not knowhe had been saving this and it was a surprise to us all. 1 knew he would like me to come to Bridlington to hand the money over.' Picture shows Mrs Worth handing the cheque over to Dr Terence Wilson, the branch chairman. Centre is Mr Wilton Gibson, the branch Hon. treasurer.
