With the ruins of Flint Castle overlooking the proceedings, Eric Bulling handed D class lifeboat Marjorie Helen over to Anthony Oliver, deputy head of fundraising and marketing on 16 November.

This was Eric's second visit to Flint to hand over gifts in memory of his late wife - on a previous visit he unveiled a plaque to open an extension to the lifeboat house.

Following a service of dedication, the lifeboat was named by Eric and launched on exercise with a Wessex helicopter from 22 squadron RAF Valley..
