Inland lifeboat Shoppers in Didcot town centre got a surprise in June when they were greeted with a D class inflatable lifeboat.

Didcot branch decided to put on the display to help raise awareness and mark the RNLI's anniversary but they also ended up collecting some £140 in donations. Landlubbers and children were able to don lifejackets and wet weather gear to give them a taste of being a lifeboatman - without getting wet!.
