Poole headquarters, July 25, 1986: When Stephen Willoughby died tragically young, his family decided they would buy a lifeboat in his memory. The relief 16ft D class lifeboat Stephen Willoughby was therefore officially handed over and dedicated at Poole during RNLI open days. Councillor Lt Cdr G. Bailey, Mayor of Poole and the Mayoress, Mrs Bailey, were present at the ceremony together with members of the Willoughby family and their friends. Mr Richard Willoughby, father of Stephen, is seen here addressing the gathering before he handed the lifeboat over to the RNLI's deputy director, Lt Cdr Brian Miles..
