With deep regret we record the following deaths: Please Note Regretfully, only coxswains and branch and guild officials with a minimum of 10 years service can now be accepted for inclusion in the Obituaries column of THE LIFEBOAT.

Unfortunately, the decision is necessary because of increasing pressures on space, and we regret that it will therefore no longer be possible to make exceptions to the above policy.

Details of the death of branch and guild members should be passed to the appropriate regional office, who -will forward the information to the Editor..
