To mark last Friday’s release of Dunkirk the movie, I’m re-publishig a blog I wrote in May 2010 on the RNLI’s role in the rescue. It’s an eye-opener and I hope you enjoy it.

Hello and welcome to my blog. It’s great to see you again. As the temperature rises, the Independent Republic of Shoreham Beach comes into its’ own.

Hello and welcome to my blog. Nice to see you again. I’m not going to keep you long because the sun’s out and I don’t want you to miss it.

Hello and welcome to my blog. It’s lovely to see you again and doesn’t the sunshine make a difference? You can chat with your neighbours now rather than wave briskly as you sprint from car to house.
