Unmistakable, despite the Tarn o'Shanter disguise, Ronnie Corbett takes the helm of Eyemouth's Waveney class lifeboat which brought him to Eyemouth to open the ladies' guild's first ever gala last August. It was linked to the annual lifeboat week; there were stalls, raffles and teas and children had great fun on a rope slide rigged up by the Coastguards. The final result of the week's activities was an impressive £3,000.
