The Skegness Lifeboat Station is hoping to raise thousands of pounds during this week's Lifeboat Flag Week.

A series of events are taking place to support the volunteer efforts of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution.

As part of the fund-raising week, both lifeboats will launch an exercise and perform a mock rescue off Skegness Central Beach on Saturday afternoon.

The Lincolnshire Poacher will be on show, and people will be able to speak to crew members.

The boathouse will be full of scale model boats and lifeboats brought by enthusiasts from all over the East Midlands.

A model of the Lincolnshire Poacher will also be on display outside Hildreds Shopping Centre in the town.
