I thought you might enjoy seeing this rather different picture of the Dungeness lifeboat.

I took it during the Parade of the Services that was part of the Queen's jubilee celebrations on 4 June. A great day and it was wonderful to see the RNLI taking part.

I used to live about half a mile from the Shoreham-by-Sea station and was only too aware of the terrible conditions that the crew had to endure. I'm now well and truly land-locked, but whenever possible I always visit the nearest lifeboat station, just to keep in touch.
