It's been a busy year for the crews of Tenby's all-weather and inshore lifeboats, with call-outs for both vessels up on last year.

In the 150th year since a lifeboat station was established in Tenby, the town's all-weather RFA Sir Galahad was launched 21 times, up a third on last year, while the ILB, the Georgina Stanley Taylor, was launched 40 times, five more occasions than the previous year.

The crews have been involved in several dramatic incidents over the last 12 months, in particular when both vessels took part in the rescue of three people when their boat capsized off Pendine.

Sadly, not every launch had the same happy conclusion, however, despite the best efforts of the lifeboat crews and the other emergency services, including the search for, and later discovery of, a two-year-old boy reported missing on Coppet Hall beach, and the battle to save a five-year-old boy being swept away by the tide off Saundersfoot.

Both vessels were also involved in a major search operation off St. Govan's earlier in the year.

The last event of Tenby's RNLI 150-year celebrations will be a carol service at St. Mary's Church, Tenby, at 3 pm on Saturday, December 14.
