PORT Isaac RNLI held its popular Christmas Market at the village hall.

The event was well attended by local supporters and visitors, gathering to welcome Father Christmas, who spent time with many children, who took the opportunity to pass on their present wish-lists and collect some small gifts donated by the crew and committee of the lifeboat.

More than £500 was raised from the sales of Port Isaac RNLI clothing, exclusive special edition lifeboat pictures, a wide range of dedicated station Christmas cards unique to Port Isaac, mulled wine, teas and coffees.
