On Thursday 12 December 2024 at a celebration in the Royal Hotel Longhope, volunteer members of RNLI Longhope Lifeboat, who have had at least five years of service at the time of King Charles III and Queen Camilla’s coronation, were presented with the King’s Coronation medals in recognition of their commitment to the RNLI’s mission of saving lives at sea.
Congratulations and thanks go to Kevin Kirkpatrick, Alex Sinclair, Robbie Thomson, Kenny Budge, Angus Budge, Aaron Spence, Oscar Spence, Ian Avis, Steve Rhodes, Colin Bates, Christine Bradshaw, Callum Heddle, Max Andrews and Iain Cromarty.
Thank you to Alan of the Royal, a rather fitting establishment for this event, for his warm hospitality and to Kevin Kirkpatrick for presenting the medals as Deputy to the Lord-Lieutenant of Orkney.
So very well deserved, we are proud of you all.
