A special pennant will fly at Moelfre Lifeboat Station to mark 200 years of the RNLI after completing a six-week relay from Flint to Anglesey.

The RNLI 200 Pennant Relay started at Flint Lifeboat Station in June, with the specially-designed pennant flag exchanged between stations, at sea, over the next few weeks.

The route of the relay saw the flag pass through Flint, Rhyl, Llandudno, Conwy, Beaumaris, Porthdinllaen, Trearddur Bay, Holyhead and Moelfre.

Each kept the flag flying at their station for a few days before it was passed on. When it reached Holyhead it travelled first to Trearddur Bay then on to Moelfre.

The flag will now be permanently displayed at Moelfre's Seawatch Centre.

At the end of the relay, every class of RNLI lifeboat in North Wales gathered in a special convoy and sat in line facing the crowd. The line-up included a Severn-class from Holyhead, a Tamar class, D-Class and Y-boat from Moelfre, a Shannon class from Llandudno and B-Class Atlantic 85s from Beaumaris and Trearddur Bay.

They were joined by an historic Watson class wooden lifeboat from the early 20th century, owned by enthusiast Hugh Searle.

A crowd of approximately 150 people gathered, braving the rain to witness the end of the relay and acknowledge two centuries of the RNLI keeping the coastline safe.

"It was wonderful to see all the classes of lifeboat that cover the North Wales coast together in one place to celebrate 200 years of the RNLI," said Holyhead Lifeboat Operations Manager David Owens.

"It was an honour to be involved and a unique chance for the public to see so many lifeboats together.

"Many people we chatted to said they felt quite emotional and there were some tears shed from both the public onlookers and the crews!

"The magnificent sight of seeing seven different types of lifeboat at once meant it was a really special day for all of us involved. Huge thanks to everyone for braving the rain and supporting us in such numbers, it was an event none of us will forget."
