Edward J Jones

May you always be safe. I loved my husband very much. He would have been very happy that he was bye your side

Chris Whatmough

Dear dad, the pride you have for your time on the Lytham RNLI crew always amazes me, and thinking back to the memories we made them are always my favourite, to running up and down the jetty to being on the boat during the parades… hearing you talk about all the lives you saved and the role you played in lythams history is my favourite thing I love you, and I am beyond proud of you

Keith David John Chew

There's not a day since we lost you I haven't missed you more than any words I can't write will ever express. I hope this dedication can help save at least one life so the loss of yours feels less in vain ❤️ Rest in Peace Keith. Give mum and nan a huge hug from me and I hope to find you again one day 🥹

Andrew John Roberton

My dad Andy was once a thespian, then taxi driver, bus driver even sold fish door to door! He was dad to myself , my older brother and grandpa to our children. He passed away after a long battle with brain tumours he lived for 25 years with the support of the NHS. Since 2017 life became a lot less quiet and less chaotic but i would give anything to have that again. I love my dad and despite our ups and downs still miss him. He would love the fact he was on show one last time ! Love Hannah x

Paul Southgate

For ever in our hearts, thanks for all you love.

Roy Alfred Crack

In loving memory of a Husbsnd and Dad who loved the sea, his happy place to be. We all miss him so very much including all his grandchildren . Dad was a great fishermen we were always taught to respect the sea not to take without giving back. He knew how unpredictable the sea could be and became a Captain so he could have the best knowledge behind him when on a boat with his family He also made it so much fun to be with him on the sea , We miss you so much you are our Lighthouse shine bright xx

Les Chown

Dad loved fishing and was out in all weathers. He tragically drowned on December 19th 1981 , a day remembered for the loss of the Solomon Browne and her crew. I was 13 at the time. May you memory live on Dad

Sarah Ann Duncan

In memory of my mum Sarah (Sadie) who died in June 2018. She enjoyed her childhood in Dundee on the north east coast and holidays in Turkey as she loved the sea. She had fun on board cruiseships looking a million dollars. She'd take me to Whitby where she liked to read all the names of the boats. I spread her ashes in the Firth of Clyde as she liked visiting me on the Ayrshire Coast and admiring Arran's landscape. She didn't wish to be forgotten. I love you deeply, mum & will never forget you. ❤

Paul griffiths

I love my grandad as much as he loves to be beside the seaside with his boat. Keep donating to RNLI to keep him and others safe!

Jack & Barney Cowdry

Grandma and Grampy (Mum and Dad) reunited on Exmouth’s lifeboat. 3 years without you Grandma, and 18 years without you Grampy. May you enjoy your adventures by the sea in Exmouth, just like our holiday in this picture, only this time you will also both be helping to save lives. We love and miss you both xxx

Maureen Cottrell

You loved your visit to the lifeboat centre in Poole. Miss you xx

Alan Rowbotham, Lt. Commander RN

Alan had a lifelong and worldwide association with the sea. He understood its many moods, its majesty, beauty and danger. In his retirement, he was Senior Officer on Watch for the RNLI, and took charge of running the School for Sea Cadets in Weymouth. Alan was a man of huge integrity and practicality; he touched the lives of many and will be greatly missed.

Jean Williams- Nan

In loving memory of Jean Williams, who sadly passed away on 27th January 2024, aged 87 years. A cherished and much loved Sister, Mum, Nan and Great Grandmother, beloved wife of the late Capt. Robert Olsen Williams. She is missed by all her family, friends and all those that knew her.

Margo Addiscott

Mum grew up living beside and on the River Clyde, where her dad was a ship’s pilot. She spent many happy days sailing “up and doon the water”. Although she travelled the world in later life, she always came home to the West coast, living close to the sea and the beautiful views to Arran. She was much loved by family and friends alike. Her ashes were scattered by the RNLI Troon lifeboat in June 2024. A beautiful send-off for mum, who loved the sea and was a great supporter of the RNLI.

Chris Burgoyne

Dad (Professor Chris Burgoyne) grew up in a house overlooking the Exe Estuary in Topsham. He joined Topsham Sea Scouts and throughout his life supported the RNLI. How fitting it is then, that his name will be inscribed on a lifeboat based so close to his beloved childhood home. Dad, you will be deeply missed and long remembered. 'I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied.'

Jack Saunders

Jack 💙 you are loved and missed to infinity and beyond, you live on in all of our hearts. Thank you for being you xx

Ernie Dean

We were lucky to have one of the most amazing Dads in the world! He loved being by the sea and always supported the lifeboats. He passed almost 14 years ago and there are so many experiences that we wish we could have shared with him since then. This is something he would have loved and he would have been delighted that he was helping to support this wonderful organisation. Sharing this with you Dad. Love you XXX

James Robert Tristram

In dedication to our beautiful and kind hearted son James, who passed away in January 2024. A devoted husband to Lisa and Dad to Brandon and Jamie, his family was his world. A computer engineer he would often repair computers free of charge when he knew the owners were suffering financially, there was over 250 mourners at his funeral, proof of how well he was regarded in his community.

Sandy Stewart

Sandy loved to travel all over the world especially with his family and friends and he is missed beyond measure.

Peter Bowyer

This is in memory of my Dad who loved being by the sea. He would be so proud to think his name is alongside so many others supporting the RNLI. To all the teams saving lives, thank you.

Sherey Johnson

My mum adored the lifeboats, she loved the one at Wells Next to Sea. It always made her happy and in honour of my upcoming wedding this is my gift to her. Love you Mum always xx

Jane Peeke

I'm adding my wife's name to the Lifeboat purely because she deserves something like this! She is a Carer who when she isn't looking after people, is looking after injured and orphaned birds. She's been doing both stoically for more than twenty years, always putting herself last, and she is pretty much on-call 24 hours a day. She certainly DOESN'T do it for any financial reward. Her selfless devotion to helping both people and animals in need thus seems very apt and fitting.

Albert George Turner

In memory of the most special Grampy, who spent many years on the water…Now you are back at sea! Dearly loved, missed everyday but never forgotten.

Trevor and Roger Harris

The ‘twinies’ as they were called back together again. ❤️

John Vendon Curtis

John sailed on the Firth of Forth & on Scotland’s west coast. He is remembered on the Anstruther lifeboat so he can keep on ‘sailing’ near to home. He can now do the same here, off Exmouth, close to where some of his family now live Wherever you are John ‘May the seas lie smooth before you, May a gentle breeze forever fill your sails, May sunshine warm your face And kindness warm your soul’

Thomas & Florence Westmore

These wonderful people are my mum & dad who were excellent parents. I am one of 16 children. We were a happy family and had many day trips to the sea side., Not all at once as there was a big gap in age years. 😳 Mum used to collect used postage stamps and send them to the RNLI. Now I'm a member and doing the same, I've also left a gift in my will in memory of my mum, dad and sister Shirley who's name is on the new Whitby all weather lifeboat. I still miss them all and talk to them regularly.

Ron and Greta Hayward

My beloved mum and dad, always in my heart.

Sheila Victoria Copsey nee Briggs

For my kind selfless giving lovely girl. See you in my dreams Jx

Nick Bennett

My dad was my hero, unfortunately we lost him on 2nd June 2024, he loved being at the seaside and was in the merchant navy when he was younger. This is my way of keeping dads name alive and helping others xx

Eric Street, C.P.O.

Papa served in the submarines during world war II. He served on several subs during that time and had a guardian angel watching over him. Having his name on the lifeboat would mean so much to him and the crews can be assured his name will bring protection to all and the boat.

Mike Phillips

Remembering Mike Phillips on what would have been his 80th birthday on 17th June 2024. Much loved husband, father and brother, who loved boats

Bethany Breach

To our beautiful daughter Beth (f21), and sister to Jess who lost her life 15.01.2024. You always wanted your name on a boat after seeing a boat with my name on.

Dr Fred and Dr Ann Nicoll

Doctors Fred and Ann Nicoll were the local GPs in Eyemouth Berwickshire from 1961 until 1992. Fred was also the RNLI doctor throughout this time, a role he adored, and it was a huge regret to him when he had to retire after reaching a certain age. He had many adventures with the lifeboat including skiving off to a decompression chamber with a diver when he was on call, leaving Ann to hold the fort. As our parents they are always missed. Xx

Bridget Roberts

Dearest Mum, We wanted to make this dedication for you as we know the RNLI was a charity that you always supported. Selling books in the hairdressing shop and putting all the money raised in the RNLI charity box at Lyme Regis. You were always thinking of others. We miss you very much. All our love x x

John Buckby and his father George Buckby

Back in 1972 I married Georgina Buckby whose father George and Brother John were both part of a lifeboat family with Arthur Brown before them alo served in the Poole Boat, loved them all now home with their God. The stories they told are part of the family history much loved and missed, remember them and thanks for all you were and did in the community that was old Poole 🙏💙X

Robert Timothy Martin

The coolest Dad on the planet, you raced Motorbikes and also had a talent for Stained Glass. And i'll admit it you are way funnier than me, such a dry, sarcastic sense of humor x

Kathleen Glennis Martin

You had the kindest heart and was always putting others first. We all miss you x

Peter lloyd

You served this country in the Navy, then dedicated your time to help all your loved ones and left a stamp on us all. Forever thinking of you

Dave Bartholomew

So now you're still at sea! Rest easy Uncle Dave Bart. You're stories of your years in the merch and your passion for boats and diving, inspired the same passions in me. You had a huge influence in my life, all my life. You were honest and loving. I will never forget you, none of those you left behind will either.

To my lovely Mum and Dad Cath and Terry Barton

We all miss you and love you both so much.

Konrad Rubery

Happy 50th birthday xx

Gordon William Mather

In memory of our loving, gorgeous father who on the 11th August 1978 went out on a speed boat around Exmouth and was killed in a tragic accident. We wanted to show our appreciation to the Life boat station as we know on that fateful day the crew would have done all they could to find him and bring him home safely.

Michael George Reynolds

Much loved and very sadly missed by his family and all of his friends.

Liz Conners

Liz was a dear friend of ours from University College Cardiff 1977.....survived a first brain tumour but not the second. She was the same age as Melanie when she died...just 56. Much loved and much missed.

Rita Preston

Mum was such an incredibly strong and resilient person. She worked so hard to look after us after our dad was killed in an accident. No words can express our gratitude to her xx

Victor Leathwhite

When I was younger my grandad (Abba) used to take us to see the RNLI boats and have donated over a thousand pounds over his lifetime as well as had our family signed up to the newsletters. I remember doing the activities in the newsletter with him until nightfall, collecting the badges as well as the stickers. If my grandfather didn’t donate to the RNLI and shown us the boats i probably wouldn’t know a lot about sea safety.Im doing this for his honour and legacy as he’s done so much for us all

Phillip Alun Thomas

My father sadly missed everyday by us all his passion was steam trains and lifeboats around the country

Betty and Norman Eric Motte

In memory of a loving Mum and Dad

Doug Were

Our Dad was on the lifeboat for many years when we were young. I can remember Mum being worried when the flares went off in the middle of the night. The lifeboat back then was nothing like they are today! Our Dad and his crew mates were brave and selfless just like every lifeboat crew since then. He really was the best.

Keith Piggott

Belated happy 60th birthday, we were waiting to be able to do this

Logan Todd

Still on an adventure, sadly without us for now.

JAI PALERMO

Your light shines on forever in the hearts and memories of everyone who loved you dearly ❤️🖤

My Dad & his two brothers

Putting my Dad's name & the names of his two brothers on the Exmouth lifeboat will be very special, all Devon born & all served in the Royal Navy, my Uncle Con lost his life at 22 during the Second World War, so it is a way of remembering him, as well as his brothers, I think they would be very happy to go to sea again if they were with us today.

Carol & John Hunter

Our mum who we lost 9 months ago & Dad who we lost 5 weeks ago, he couldn't live without his Queen😞, we miss them both so much, it has been a really tough 8 months but they are together again 💕... we love you both with all our hearts, till we meet again, fly high our beautiful angels 😇 xxxx

Robert Michael Kloet

Always with me.Your number 1 fan xx

Alan Sturt

Celebrating an Amazing life 1939-2023. Dad was a great walker, adventurer and always ready to help others in any way he could. Having his name on a lifeboat seems so fitting, the picture shows him at a lifeboat station having raised money for RNLI by visiting them all - walking the whole coastal path of Cornwall nearly 50 years ago. He is so loved, and so missed.

John Wibrin

My Dad served in the coastal forces during the Second World War earning the DSM and bar and his medals are on display in the Navy Museum in Gosport.

Graham Roberts

In loving memory of Graham (Grandad Wales), who had a love of the sea from his service in the Royal Marines, twice round the globe! He will be missed but never forgotten and great to think he will be back out with the RNLI rescuing those in peril on the sea.

Colin K H Riley

In loving memory - Dad would love to know that even in passing on he is playing his part in helping others. A fitting memorial to someone who survived so much and battled through stormy seas to the bitter end.

Robert Michael Kloet

In memory of my Dad and our Grandpa who always supported the RNLI and displayed their badge on his grill plate.

James Bernard and William Edwin Davenport

Both my brothers served many years at sea. James was in the Royal Navy and served a time as a submariner on the HMS Thorough. William joined the Merchant Navy and when he changed careers he still went to sea, but on his yacht, sailing the Atlantic to the Caribbean and the Mediterranean.

John Henry Edwards

In loving memory of our wonderful Dad, who delighted us with many of his Royal Yacht stories and mishaps! He will love being on the sea again.

Patrick Edward Crawley

We moved to Weymouth so that Patrick could go sailing, he was never happier than when he was on his boat. A great family man, loved and missed every day.

Lilian Mary Winn

It is good that my aunts name can be put on the Exmouth lifeboat. She loved Devon having been evacuated in 1939 to live with her aunt and uncle in Topsham. Earlier that year she had spent an idyllic month staying with them which was a marked contrast to her life in the East End of London. So it is fitting that she will be remembered in Devon. We hope the boat will save many lives.

Eddie Kane

In memory of my brother Eddie who was a keen scuba diver. I’ve just spent a lovely weekend in Exmouth so this seems a perfect way to remember him.

Peter Scovell

We wanted to make a lasting memory for my Father. He passed away on Christmas Eve having lived a full and happy life until he was 102. He always supported the RNLI - having his name on a lifeboat is fitting.
