With Eastbourne RNLI celebrating its 200th anniversary this month, the Herald has captured pictures from inside the lifeboat station and the ‘Diamond Jubilee’. In 2012, the Earl and Countess of Wessex, Edward and Sophie, visited Eastbourne and named the new lifeboat in honour of the Queen’s 60 years on the throne.
