MEMBERS of a coastal rescue team have been honored by the Queen for their work.
The Llandudno team is part of the Coastguard Rescue Service which has been awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Volunteering Award.
It consists of teams of volunteers drawn from the local community, which are fully trained and equipped to carry out a range of search and rescue operations around the coast of the UK.
They can be called out by the Maritime Rescue Coordination Center (MRCC) at any time of the day or night, in all weathers, to respond to and rescue those in trouble or missing or to participate in a multi-agency response to an emergency.
Peter Dymond, Chief Coastguard, said: “I am delighted that the Coastguard Rescue Service has received this award which is a just reward and recognition for our volunteers rescue officers.”
