When we heard the RNLI team had managed to get them out safely we were so relieved,’ says Alan, Sebastian and Jacob’s dad. ‘It’s amazing that a team of volunteers are willing to drop everything to come and help.’ The boys’ mum Helen added: ‘In order to get my
terrified children onto the rescue sled the volunteers promised the boys their helmets.’ True to their word, the team headed to the Holmes’s household in Lytham St Annes on 23 December to deliver the helmets to the boys – who are pictured with rescuers Elissa and Guy.‘I am indebted to the RNLI – not only for putting their lives at risk to rescue my family,’ adds Helen, ‘but for
being awesome human beings.’
