Local RNLI volunteers awarded for their service

Two volunteers from Port St Mary RNLI have been presented with awards at a ceremony in London. 

Mike Keggen received a long-service award in recognition of almost 50 years with the charity, while Richard Leigh was given the RNLI Bronze Medal. 

Mike joined the Port St Mary crew as a volunteer at the age of 18, and has been involved with almost 300 service calls.

The Bronze Medal was presented to Richard for his 'superb' boat handline, seamanship, and courage during the difficult rescue of a yacht in 2021.
