Scarborough RNLI Hold Remembrance Event

For the first time in two years, Scarborough lifeboat house hosted a Remembrance Sunday service yesterday.

The service, conducted by Rev Graham Morgan and Alan Courtney, followed a service at Queen Street Central Hall.

Veterans, standard bearers, wreath-carriers, members of the lifeboat crew and coastguard team, army, air and sea cadets paraded from the church down to the harbour for the lifeboat house service.

Five standard bearers took part including Kev Roberts, carrying the Scarborough RNLI standard.

Colin Woodhead, who chairs Scarborough RNLI, made a reading. Music was played by organist Francis Appleby.

Maroons were discharged to signal the start and finish of the silence, paid for by South Bay Traders Association.

Wreaths were laid out at the lifeboat house before being taken up to the Oliver’s Mount war memorial. A small Sub-Aqua Club vessel, the Richard S, laid biodegradable poppies on the sea, near the harbour entrance.

Both services were organised by Tom Fox.

Scarborough RNLI’s annual ECJR memorial service is at St Mary’s Church on 6 December. It remembers crew members who died in service.
