They shall not grow old, as we are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we shall remember them. #RemembranceDay2021 #remember #RNLI #remembranceday #StIves

Both lifeboats out on service this morning at 6.53am Top Cove, Godrevy to a capsized kayaker. Thankfully the casualty had safely made his way to shore with help of a surfer. The crew assessed the casualty who was in shock but ok. #RNLI #stivescornwall #savinglivesatsea

With the sunny weather continuing, more & more people are flocking to our very busy beaches. We want everyone to enjoy our coast safely, so if you find yourself in trouble in the water remember #FloatToLive. Stay safe this summer #RNLI #SavingLivesAtSea #StIves #StIvesCornwall

#StormEvert due to hit Cornwall later @MetOffice has issued an amber warning. Gusts hit out of nowhere & knock you off your feet, large waves can be amazing to watch & photograph, but no image is worth drowning. Call 999 ask for the Coastguard if you see anyone in trouble #RNLI

Can you spot a Rip, they are strong currents running out to sea, which can quickly drag people & debris away from the shallows of the shoreline & out to deeper water and & danger, the most experienced beachgoers can be caught out by rips, always choose a lifeguarded beach #RNLI

At 11.21am today both our inshore & all weather lifeboats launched on service at request of Falmouth Coastguard. We are unable to provide any further information of that service at this time. Both lifeboats returned from at 1.12pm #RNLI #savinglivestogether #stivescornwall

Our crew will be responding everyday, 24 hours a day over the #G7 period, we’ve made plans & minor adjustments to ensure that launch times are not compromised by road closures or crowds, a duty lifeboat crew will be based in the station during the #G7Cornwall #G7Summit #RNLI

82 years today, St Ives RNLI remember the courage & sacrifice of the crew of 1939. Of the eight crew that launched the 'John and Sarah Eliza Stych' Lifeboat in storms in excess of 80-90 MPH to an unknown vessel, only one man returned home. Today we take time to remember #RNLI

Our crew were paged & launched both our boats at 11.02pm tonight, the crew have safely returned a few moments ago & we’ll update you soon as to what they were doing. In the meantime it’s safe to say that some of our crew were woken up by the pager! #RNLI #stivescornwall #Minions
