A LOVELY sunny day greeted this year's annual Bude Lifeboat Open Day part of the RNLI's Station Open Days.

With most of the crew in attendance visitors were treated to a tour of the boathouse including the crew room and operations room along with a thrilling demonstration of the inshore lifeboat 'Henry Philip' and crew in action.
