Langley led a service of dedication, and Interim Head of Region for the South West, Nigel Viles, delivered a vote of thanks. Shortly afterwards, The Princess


Royal arrived and was presented to civic dignitaries, the Dart RNLI volunteer management team and RNLI Chief Executive Peter Sparkes by the Lord-Lieutenant of Devon, David Fursdon, before unveiling a commemorative plaque at the front of the station. Following the unveiling, Her


Royal Highness was escorted into the boat hall to meet several volunteers, including Iain Lomas and a number of volunteer crew. Inside the boat hall, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence presented a 20-year long-service award to volunteer helm Rich Eggleton. A surprise for Rich, he said:


‘It’s such an honour to be part of the Dart RNLI team and it was a very proud moment for me and

my family. I have loved being a volunteer from the outset. A special day for all of us and an amazing new station.’ The Princess Royal then


proceeded upstairs to the crew room where Her Royal Highness met those who had contributed to the renovation project, as well as fundraising volunteers and volunteers from the nearby RNLI


visitor centre and the station support team. The Princess Royal was also introduced to RNLI lifeguards from South Hams beaches at Blackpool Sands and Bantham, Luke, Matt, Noah and Daisy.
