Visitors to Beadnell Bay were able to get a better understanding of the work of the RNLI at an open day.

The event organised by Seahouses lifeboat station took place on Saturday.

The inshore lifeboat was on display on its road trailer, while the all-weather Shannon Class lifeboat was moored at the harbour.

RNLI souvenirs were on sale, the station water safety team gave safety advice and displays and Howick Coastguard Team also called by.

Lifeboat press officer Ian Clayton said: “It was a really good day for us and great to be able to engage with the public once more.

"I think the public really enjoyed our visit, and a look around the Shannon was probably the highlight of the day for many of them.”
