Forest Row Choir named at Shoreham The second D class lifeboat funded by the Forest Row lifeboat choir was named and dedicated by Dorothy Rumens, choir member, on 31 August 1996 Some 200 people attended the ceremony at Shoreham, including 50 choir members with their families, fundraisers from the Shoreham Harbour lifeboat society, Shoreham and Lancing ladies guild and members of the station branch.

Following the tragic death of two local men at sea, a local postman decided that something should be done to commemorate their lives and indeed put something back into lifesaving at sea and so the choir was founded in 1945 to raise funds for the RNLI. Previously money raised by the choir went into the Institution's general funds but recently after two successful appeals two D class lifeboats have been funded..
