Crew remembers proudest moments as lifeboat station marks 50th anniversary

A lifeboat crew in Essex is marking 50 years of saving lives with a series of special events.

In the last year alone, the RNLI at Burnham-on-Crouch has rescued around 60 people from the water.

The town got its first lifeboat station in 1966 and has had more than 100 crew members.

A special thanksgiving ceremony at the local church gave local people a chance to say thank you - and crew members a chance to recall some of their proudest moments.

Lizzy Brown said one of her most memorable rescues involved a broken-down power boat.

Lucy Ward was once rescued by the lifeboat crew herself. That made her want to join them.
