Here we are back in June, with colleagues @RNLITREARDDUR rescuing climber Jon. This was a long, complicated rescue due to the difficult location and his injuries, but all was well in the end and he was safely airlifted to hospital.
Watch as @HheadLifeboat and @RNLITrearddur rescue a climber who fell 12m near Gogarth Bay.
With help from @HMCoastguard and local cliff rescue teams, our crews provided vital care and facilitated a safe transfer to hospital by helicopter.
Well done to everyone involved 👏
Our ILB crew were called out just after 2am to assist a vessel struggling to moor in the very high winds. The 3 people on board were exhausted but physically well. We assisted them onto a secure mooring before returning to station.

Huge congratulations to Susan Hannon for becoming the first woman to be a Shannon class lifeboat mechanic at Dunmore East RNLI! Well done, Susan! 👏
Thank you to every single person who came along to Moelfre today to see our special lifeboat convoy to commemorate #RNLI200 ⚓️
The rain didn't take away from the magnificent sight of 7 different classes of lifeboat all in one place. It was very special to be part of it all.

It was very emotional witnessing such a unique scene - there were tears from the public and members of the crew too!
A fitting way to commemorate 200 years of #SavingLivesAtSea - a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we feel privileged to be a part of.
Diolch yn fawr! 👏⚓️🧡💙 – at Holyhead, Wales
Our @RNLI crew were called out yesterday to assist a lone kayaker within Holyhead harbour. The casualty was taken on board the lifeboat and returned to shore, to the care of the local volunteer coastguard team. Full details here:

You may recall we, along with @RNLITrearddur rescued an injured climber earlier this month. We're now able to share some footage of that night. Happy to report that Jon is recovering at home & we're hoping to catch up with him again soon!
