Torbay RNLI is set to come together with the local community for the Torbay Lifeboats' Annual Service of Dedication, on Sunday August 16 at 6.30pm.

Held on the quayside in Brixham, the short service is to give thanks to the Crews who have served on our Lifeboats over the past year and to wish them God speed in safety for the year to come.

The High Tide tables dictate the date/time of the Service so that the All Weather “Severn” Class boat can come across the Harbour and moor on the Quay opposite the shops.

The Service is a simple one with some maritime-related hymns accompanied by the Brixham Town Band, one of Brixham's local Shanty Bands giving a few renditions and a couple of lifeboat related readings/poems read by local civic dignitaries.

The service will be led by Helen Lovell-Smith, Devon Area Officer of Fishermen’s Mission and include dignitaries such as Peter Thorp, Chair of Torbay Lifeboat Fundraisers, Cllr Michael Roseveare, Chair of Brixham Town Council and Cllr Mark Spacagna, Civic Mayor of Torbay District Council. Music will be kindly provided by Brixham Town Band.

An RNLI spokesperson added: "This is just one of the ways in which we, the public can say 'thank you' for being there for the people and especially, seafarers around Torbay."
