My dad, Sidney Cleverly, was born in Gravesend in 1908. He died in Brighton in 1968. He ran away from home in his teens to join the Royal Navy, and served for 8 years, much of which, he told us, was spent fighting pirates in the China seas. During WW2 he was a volunteer firefighter. His love of the sea never left him, and he would be so proud to be remembered on an RNLI lifeboat, combining sea and life-saving volunteering. Thank you, all.
