Support the RNLI: A red London bus, Routemaster RM5, was lent to the Hertford and district branch as an entry in the Hertford Carnival.

The bus, which is about 25 years old, is the oldest in regular service (route number 29 Palmers Green to Victoria) and was specially repainted for the occasion. The advertising side panels which bear the legend "Leaside District is pleased to support the RNLI" will remain to be seen daily in the streets of London..
