The RNLI has finished its 200th anniversary “scroll relay” on the Isle of Man, which is considered the “birthplace” of the organisation.

Over the past 236 days, the 23ft (7m) long scroll has travelled more than 18,000 miles (28,968 feet) while visiting 292 sites linked to the organisation across the UK.

The bamboo document has gathered over 900 signatures from representatives at lifeboat stations, lifeguard units, fundraising branches and shops.

Peel RNLI lifeboat operations manager Allen Corlett said the scroll “highlighted the vast network of RNLI lifesaving communities, each playing their part in saving lives at sea”.
