Soft toy replicas of TV's lovable Teletubbies have been quickly selling out in shops everywhere.

Ronald Benzie, owner of Exmouth store Thomas Tucker's, decided to keep two back to raffle for lifeboat funds and within two weeks, Laa Laa and Po had raised £200 for the RNLI.

Tim Mock, second coxswain/mechanic of Exmouth lifeboat, who helped promote the draw is pictured aboard the station's Trent class lifeboat with his son Henry who, coincidentally won Po. Henry agreed Po should go aboard the lifeboat to greet visiting school parties and bring a smile to the crew!.
