18 years ago today I walked onto RNLI Tower Lifeboat Station to start my first shift as a volunteer crew member. What a journey! Thank you to the RNLI and the team at Tower past and present for everything, you have changed my life and many others too.

We are proud to have worked with @LFBKingston on ensuring these throw lines are available along the busiest stretch of the River Thames. They are for your safety and the safety of others. If you see them damaged, please let @LFBKingston know.

We are regularly checking our throw bag boards which are now installed along #kingston riverside. The bags contain a floating rope that can be thrown to someone in distress in the river. If you need to use one, call 999 and ask for the fire service.

With the return of HMS Prince of Wales to Portsmouth late last week, at least for the August period, both Royal Navy aircraft carriers are alongside and can be viewed up close on one of our harbour tours. @HMSQNLZ @HMSPWLS @visitportsmouth @PHDockyard @Portsmouth_born
