Since it was founded in 1924, lifeboats have saved more than 135,000 lives.
A total of 227 lifeboat stations are on call to provide the 24-hour service necessary to cover search and rescue requirements up to 50 miles out from the coast of the UK and Ireland.
The RNLI is a registered charity and depends entirely on voluntary contributions and legacies.
