Lest we forget. πΊ
Today, on VE Day, we pause to remember and honour the courage, sacrifice and resilience of all those who served during the Second World War.
80 years on, we reflect not only on the victory in Europe, but on the countless lives affected by war β those who fought, those who supported from home, and those who never returned.
Coastal communities like ours played an important role throughout the war, and lifeboat crews around the country continued to answer the call in some of the most challenging and dangerous conditions imaginable. Their bravery, selflessness and dedication to saving lives remain values that continue to inspire RNLI crews today.
As we remember this historic day, we also thank the generation whose sacrifice secured the freedoms we enjoy today.
Lest we forget. πΊ
