Crews to show public life-saving skills to raise money
Ramsey's lifeboat crew will be showing the public their life-saving skills, raising money and encouraging new recruits today (18 July).
The northern station is holding its annual flag day, with a packed programme of family fun starting at 11.30 this morning.
Douglas lifeboat will join the Ramsey vessel for a display in the bay while events ashore will centre around the lifeboat house on South Promenade.
There'll also be kayak fishing, have-a-go at model boat driving and a display by the Venture Centre.
Ramsey's lifeboat dates back to 1829 and RNLI fundraiser Theresa Shammon says the institution remains at the heart of local life:
Victoria Road reopens following fire at unoccupied property
Eating disorders 'more common than people realise' on the Isle of Man
Warning about effects of nicotine pouches on youngsters
Mineral deposits 'worth exploring but possibly not large enough for commercial success'
