RNLI remembers heroes lost in sea rescues

THE lives of 65 Irish lifeboat volunteers who died trying to save the lives of others were remembered in a ceremony in Britain yesterday.

Flags at RNLI lifeboat stations were lowered across the country yesterday as a memorial, dedicated to those who lost their lives while at sea, was unveiled outside the Lifeboat college in Dorset.

Of the 778 people commemorated on the RNLI memorial, 65 are from Irish lifeboat stations.
