New lifeboat handed over
The new inshore lifeboat which covers Sennen Cove has been officially handed over to the RNLI in Cornwall in a special ceremony.

The chief executive of the charity named the boat, The Spirit of the RLC.

The name comes from the Royal Logistics Corps which is sponsoring the D-class inshore boat.

It is already in service alongside Sennen's all weather lifeboat and is faster and more manoeuvrable than its predecessor.

It also carries more high-tech safety equipment.

It was handed over to Andrew Freemantle, the chief executive of the RNLI by members of the Logistics Corps in Saturday's ceremony.
