I think Sir William Hillary would be extraordinarily happy to see that 200 years after he founded it, it's still going strong, to the many volunteers that go out of their way to save us from the oceans perils, I say thank you, to many many years to come, hurrah

[@rnli]

Thanks so much for your kind words! We're so honoured to be able to continue this lifesaving work for 200 years.

Very moving. Never forget what these brave people do. Support them.

[@bmac6116]

This is excellent. Always in awe of the brave crews. If I'm ever lucky enough to live near the coast, I'd like to think I'd volunteer 🌊

We're so glad you enjoyed this journey through our history, we're glad to have your support - wherever you are!

This was quite a feat in such a short video but though I'm a fast reader I found I didn't have time to finish reading every caption before it disappeared off the screen. Keep yourselves safe & thank you for everything you do.

You are allowed to watch it again you know.....

[@anniemac3075]

@@paulstephenson2035 Haha, I'm aware of that but doesn't make for easy viewing if you have to keep going back. Thank you for your helpful comment though...... 😊

Hooray for our heroes in yellow wellies!

[@jillnelson9403]

All of you at RNLI are true heroes, and I have no words to truly express how I feel about what you do. But please, please keep on doing it!

[@rnli]

Thanks Jill, we will!

[@JackRoadkill]

In dark times it's wonderful to know that the human spirit burns bright. Absolute respect and gratitude to all at the RNLI.

[@batterseaexile]

Excellent video! Thank you for that. A tad disappointed that the 1881 Indian Chief rescue off Ramsgate- which gained international prominence- wasn't listed, though.

[@rnli]

Thank you. It was tough putting 200 years into 2 minutes, we're sorry we weren't able to include that incredible rescue

[@joanlees5328]

Heroes everyone of you! 💖

[@rnli]

Thanks Joan! 😊

I was born and brought up in Cromer and learned about Henry Blogg. The church choir had an interesting tradition. If the maroons went off during a Sunday service, the service would stop and the congregation and choir would sing the first verse of Eternal Father, strong to save, with Norman Cutting playing the organ. I suppose that this tradition no longer survives because the crew is alerted by pagers not maroons. Did any other churches near a lifeboat station observe this tradition of singing Eternal Father strong to save, if the lifeboat was summoned during a Sunday service?

An excellent synopsis of 200 years human chivalry towards a neighbour in distress at sea. Why then then include that irritating music. Two, the documentary is very good so why not make its presentation 6 minutes so one can savour it? Roger.

[@rnli]

Thank you Roger. We have a full timeline on our website which goes into more detail about our history which you might enjoy - rnli.org/about-us/our-history/timeline Thanks for the feedback about the length and music 🙂
