Preparations are well underway for the Sheringham's annual Lifeboat Day on Sunday.

For the first time, the event will feature a display of three regional lifeboats from Sheringham, Wells and Cromer.

It comes as the Sheringham RNLI crew is still celebrating securing a remarkable fundraising total on Flag Day, which was August 3.

Sheringham locals and visitors deposited a hefty £2,196 in donation boxes.

Sheringham RNLI lifeboat operations manager, Brian Farrow, said: "We are blown away once again by the incredible kindness and support shown to us on Flag Day."

Support from the HM Coastguard team and volunteer collectors contributed greatly to this outstanding total.

Following Flag Day, the Oddfellows brass band journeyed from Leicester for a concert at St Peter's Church on August 4 to also boost station funds.

As long-standing allies of Sheringham RNLI, the Oddfellows delighted the congregation with an array of well-loved and maritime songs, rounded off with a collection for the lifeboat station.

In total, the Oddfellows added two cheques to this collection.

An additional boost ahead of Lifeboat Day was the Sheringham Carnival parade on August 7, with Sheringham RNLI at the forefront displaying an Atlantic 85 lifeboat on a trailer.

Crowds flocked to the carnival, with the crew dispersing sweets and stickers to children and cheerfully collecting further donations.

Following the carnival, the new Atlantic 85 lifeboat set off to Berwick-Upon-Tweed to serve as its new house lifeboat.

On Sunday, August 11 at around 11am there will be lifeboat displays and attendees can also look forward to a HM Coastguard team demonstration, a concert by The Sheringham Shantymen at 1pm, and the annual lifeboat service at the station at 3pm.
