In loving memory Six of the parents whose sons were lost off Land's End during Easter, 1985, have presented a cheque for £52,000 to Rear Admiral W. J. Graham, director, at RNLI Headquarters.

The money, which was raised through many fund raising activities as part of the parents' special appeal, will help provide the cost of a new lifeboat for Sennen Cove lifeboat station, the nearest station to Land's End. It will serve as a practical memorial to the boys who lost their lives when they were swept into the sea.

The present Sennen Cove lifeboat was built in 1973 and would normally have a life of 25 to 30 years. However, the RNLI recently announced a programme to complete the introduction of fast lifeboats by 1993 and it is hoped to place a fast lifeboat at Sennen Cove within three to four years..
