Portrush Lifeboat Station was the venue for a long service awards presentation on Thursday, November 13.

Lord Lieutenant for Co Antrim David McCorkell presented Mac Pollock and David Elliot from the Ballymoney fundraising team with their 50 and 40 year awards, and Peter Glover, Portrush Lifeboat Station treasurer, received his 20 year award.

Members of the Ballymoney fundraising team, volunteer lifeboat crew and operations team were also in attendance.

Judy Nelson, Portrush’s volunteer Lifeboat Press Officer said: "It is important to us that the achievements of Mac, David and Peter are recognised and applauded. It was a pleasure to be able to host this at the station and for crew to congratulate the recipients.

"Every penny counts towards ‘Saving Lives at Sea’ and making sure our crew are trained and kitted out to be able to do this. Our fundraisers help us to do that and we are indebted to them and their service.”
