The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) is the largest charity that saves lives at sea around the coasts of the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, the Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man, as well as on some inland waterways. It is one of several lifeboat services operating in the same area.

Founded in 1824 as the National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck, soon afterwards becoming the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck, under the patronage of King George IV. On 5 October 1854, the institution’s name was changed to its current name (RNLI), and in 1860 was granted a royal charter.
The RNLI is a charity in the UK and in the Republic of Ireland and has enjoyed royal patronage since its foundation, the most recent being Queen Elizabeth II until her death on 8 September 2022. The RNLI is principally funded by legacies (65%) and donations (28%), with the remainder from merchandising and investment. Most of the members of its lifeboat crews are unpaid volunteers.
The RNLI is based in Poole, Dorset. It has 238 lifeboat stations and operates 444 lifeboats. RNLI lifeguards operate on more than 200 beaches: the lifeguards are paid by local authorities, but the RNLI provides equipment and training. The institution also operates flood rescue teams nationally and internationally, the latter prepared to travel to emergencies overseas at short notice.
Considerable effort is put into training and education by the institution, particularly for young people; in 2013, more than 6,000 children a week were spoken to by education volunteers about sea and beach safety, and over 800 children a week received training. Crews rescued on average 22 people a day in 2015. The institution has saved some 140,000 lives since its foundation, at a cost of more than 600 lives lost in service.
This is me in the video , I’m so thankful to everyone who was there to help the coastguards and to the people who called the coastguards. One minute I could touch the floor and the next I was being pulled back , I’m a generally good swimmer but I couldn’t swim back to shore, my only option was to swim with the same way as the currant but the only way to do that would be to go closer to the pier , my legs had gone dead due to being tired and cold. I was waving to the people on the pier to try and get their attention as I could see I was going out further and there was no flashing lights. I was out there for 25 minutes before I heard any sirens , my friend (in the video) tried to get 3 different people with their phones in their hands to call before anyone listened. I’m okay now , and home. I’m just very tired and shaken up from it all.
Happened to me once on Bondi beach. Didn't matter how hard a swam back to the shore, I got further and further away. A surfer came over to me and asked if I was alright, said i should pick a side, left or right and swim in that direction, and about 10 minutes later I was back on the beach. Lay down to recover where my towel was, looked up and there was a big bloody sign warning people of the currents right in front of me, doh! Glad you're OK.
Glad everyone made it back to the shore - hope it doesn't prevent you from re-entering the water again ^.^
@@Ruitraceur I love the sea so much I just got caught out , I wasn’t in too deep before the wave caught me but I love the sea , I just need a bit more awareness before I re-enter
@Ryley wilson I'm sure it's very unlikely to happen ^.^ can you pick some lottery numbers for me? Would share if it wins lol
@@user-ip4io3sz9m I'm an extremely good swimmer with well over 1000 hours however the sea and lakes are different. I am way too paranoid as I've seen the horror stories with cramp and tides. The best swimmer in the world could get into life and death trouble in the same circumstances. Stay safe, do not think you're invincible and do not start out with the expectation you will be saved if something were to go wrong.
Mental, a person is drowning whilst everyone stands around trying to confirm their gender.
Crazy times mate
That’s what I was thinking.
My thought's too, male/female ? Try "human"
My mate said female twice and mentioned I was waring a bra….dunno how they get it so mixed up
@@user-ip4io3sz9m I dunno where they were so concerned about gender, it really didn't matter.
Nice to see the old bill have their priorities right and take everyone's details, and don't get their feet wet. One of them going in the water was never an option whatever the circumstances!!
Total respect to them R.N.L.I guys, job very well done.👼👍
Why were they obsessed with asking if it was a male or female at the beginning? Modern cops are weird.
Very strange but the rnli just got on with the job regardless
Agreed. RNLI did great. Good job.
Was that police, if so I think possibly just getting correct details, rescue would have been informed & on route. X
You are not very bright are you? The child's next of kin will need updates. The police have to get their facts right before contacting the Childs parents. Are you a turnip
Also the fact that someones potentially drowning and the cops are still like " going to need to take your details " like wtf just radio the coastguard and make sure they are on the way 1st
By the time they worked out which pronouns to use, she/him/her/they could have drowned.
Wrong, it's by using the correct pronouns that his her it shits life would be saved😂
HA HA HA HA , That was so funny. 👍👍👍👍
Did they throw him back when he spoke with an english accent?
Noooo…. They charged him for the rescue… all free to foreign language speakers.
@@silentauditor9513 just hope your mum or dad don’t need medical attention while your still alive as you would probably put a pillow over their faces.
Basic individuals aren't you
Can i just get your details (whilst kid drowns)🤦♂️
This was so frustrating to watch. May as well have been 'Have you actually witnessed them drowning yet'
Well done for capturing the real hero's doing a real great deed, And the coppers just worrying about taking details useless.
Well done the Blackpool rNLI crew and well roggir for capturing the event, maybe the RNLI could use the footage on there website.
How pathetic are the police?
We will just take some details, should have called RNLI first.
in case this happens, and you feel swimming directly to the beach doesn't work, swim parallel to the coastline or at an 45° angle,
then try again.. the kid probably was in between 2 sandbanks
and you can't fight against the flow going out.
good advice 👍
Real heroes not like those clowns that didn't have a clue what to do
Someone's fighting for their life but what's their gender. 🤦♂ Huge Respect RNLI Great work Reggie👍
Those two Constables were about the same age of the drowning boy. Totally out of their depth (no pun intended).
That had been the south east coast he would have given a hotel to stay in and a credit card :o)
FFS someone’s drowning and their talking about gender preferences great capture reggie and great end result 👍
Heroes doing the great work they're supposed to be doing (unlike their colleges off parts of the South coast)
Rubbish. Maritime law. Look it up.
@David Smith not interested in people who break the law in rubber boats
Police seem in no rush at all, gently strolling down. Just wanting to take people's names.RNLI great guys, just as well they are there. God Bless them.
Keep the Hero's safe God.
The RNLI are ALL Volunteers, offering their time and skills freely, just like Members of St John Ambulance and the British Red Cross in the UK. They are all heroes and heroines, every last one. Thank you for your (unpaid) life-saving service, one and all ❤❤❤
Give me a break, lefty
@@jamesjameson4566 nah that's too far, people who give their free time to actually save people deserve our gratification. I've lost love for RNLI recently as it seems they had spent alot of time in the channel helping a group of people to invade GB however they've been called off that now and deserve appreciation.
Some of the RNLI crew are salaried. My friend worked full time for them. however that didn't make him any less of a hero though.
Phew, thank goodness the police were there to take details and keep people back.
Days gone by they would be straight in the water to at least chest high.
@@quazoid Those days are long gone quazoid, risk assessments won’t allow it.
@@PaggerdI can see why in this video. It would get there pencil and paper wet.
wtf guy is drowning and the police asking for details? policeman playing on his phone... policewoman asking questions...
just get fkin undressed grab a swimbelt/life buoy and go save him
I think the police need to be arrested for obstructing ....
👏👏👏👏👏Well done the R.N.L.I should be paid full stop government should make the the 3 emergency service
RNLI definitely need more exposure to showcase the hardship they have to deal with!
Also respect to the other branches of search and rescue we are so lucky to have operating around us, always ready to pounce to action when called upon!
❤❤❤
My God!!! Why did it matter whether he was Male or Female 😡
Good to see the lifeboat doing what it’s meant to do & not a free Taxi service for illegals
Great footage Reggie well done 👍🏻
They’re trying to identify a specific individual. They’re basic questions to help them be sure they’re going to someone in trouble
Police didn't want to get their pants wet like the other 3 "hero's"?
Police casually strolled down to the coast line.
Well captured @reggie ❤
I vaguely remember an article where the police stood back and didn't jump in to water to rescue someone because 'they are not allowed to'. I think a PCSO (or someone) did jump in and it wasn't a great look. It was in the news from memory.
@@markosmith8037 oh; so they can follow policy and procedures at certain times 😂
There was another one recently in Blackpool and the officers deemed to be "hero's" for going in water up to their thigh and helping a woman 🤣
We urgently need to conform their gender identity before we can rescue they/them. Jesus H Christ.
I’m an ex fisherman from Eyemouth Scotland. These guys are heroes. Respect.
Have you seen their tireless efforts on the coast of Dover
@James Jameson they are still heroes.
@@davidsmith5523 no, that makes them traitors
@James Jameson not even slightly. The rules around asylum seekers were put in place in Europe and around the world due to the fact that jewish people were denied access to other countries leading up to and during the Second World War. To stop such mistreatment happening again. Its government stockpiling them and putting them in hotels who are at fault. Then, changing the laws, I mentioned to render them illegal. Lifeboat crews are not at fault. The government is.
@@davidsmith5523 yes they are, spare the weasel words
JUST AMAZING TO THE R.N.L.I. WHAT A SUPER TEAM THEY ARE.
6 cops doing nothing more than crowd control which wasn't really necessary except they had to look like they had a purpose in life.
Good TIMING
YOUNG REGGIE !!!!
Big respect to the RNLI ❤❤❤
I'm bloody anoyed at them coppers, someone is drowning and all they want is someones info
Thank you, RNLI.🙏
Thanks for sharing this video, appreciate your kind comments!
You guys do a great job thank you for your service 👍
This is what they are supposed to do, not act as a Taxi service for Illegal Gimme-Grants here in Kent.
Heroes. Politicians less so.
Police no help whatsoever standing around asking what gender what. The heck unbelievable that person could have drowned the police are a joke well done to the hero's who saved that person's life today
Police will want the credit 😮
This is great footage maybe this will teach some people the resl effects of how fast the water can change.
Too see thr police more interested in gender. Have they called for help? 😢
My little brother this was and was told he was minutes away from brain dead/ dead! He was hit by a strong wave which knocked him unconscious. Thsnk you so much to thr heros that ssved dyls live!
All the police wanted to know was the kid's details and what happened, as the kid is fighting for his life trying to stay afloat.
POLICE MUPPETS!!!!!!
Dithering bloody police.
Thank you RNLI !!!!
Genuinely thought this was going to be a joke video implying their saving adult dingy migrants claiming to be teenagers.
What difference does it make, male or female. Do they drown at different rates ? Nice to see the Police had it totally under control 🤦♂️ just think if they hadn’t have said step back !
To be honest, i think that doing a job like this, is probably one of the best jobs, that provides the best service to this country. My belief is, that it is this way because our Government is not involved.
If the R.N.L.I. Ever becomes state funded, we will drown. So give often and don't spare the pennies.
Top Lads
Those coppers were a joke 😡
It is a travesty that the RNLI (and Air Ambulance for that matter) have to rely on public donations. Any organisations that directly puts the safety and wellbeing of the UK public as their sole concern (like other "emergency services") should be funded from the public purse, especially when the lives are put at risk from saving others. It beggars belief that money from taxation is not channelled to such places. All Governments over the years are complicit in leaving these vital services off the payout list and I would prefer some of my taxes were earmarked for these organistaions rather than some other places I could mention (foreign aid for example).
well done,RNLI,proper JOB.
WoW can’t believe you were there, glad he was rescued
Massive respect for the RNLI but what exactly were the Police doing? asking as always DAFT questions wanting details! MALE OR FEMALE? WHAT! they are drowning for God's sake! what was he wearing? a joke they are! - Just leave this to the Professionals THE RNLI - Thanks Guys! - Stay Safe!
Glad he's she's OK and saved
RNLI real life heroes.
Nice 1 Reggie Photo! Right Time Right Place to capture the RNLI in Action! Rare..🚤
RNLI THIS IS BRILLIANT ! BUT PLEASE STOP BEING A TAXI SERVICE FOR THE DINGHY DIVERS!
If the RNLI get a shout they go out
They save lives at sea with absolutely no racial agenda, unlike your comment. “O hear us when we cry to thee for those in peril on the sea”
Naughty boy Reggie filming people working in Blackpool. Glad those cops aren’t responsible for rescuing the person in the sea, “Can I take your details”? About as useful as a chocolate fireguard.
Should send your footage to Granada Reports and North West Tonight Reggie.
Epic footage Reggie. Kudos.
Excellent Reggie, right place right time 👍☺️🇭🇲
Big respect to the RNLI
1:00 Wow! Lets all phuck about making sure we dont misgender the drowning person. Madness.
Wow fair play look how efficient they was shame they police ain’t like that. All that faffing about it being a male or a female was a stupid waste of time.
With respect to those heroes, we hope never to meet.
Total focus on do I say a him,she, them or they while he is busy drowning. Wouldn't shock me as they said grab my hand sir, he pulled away shouting how dare you. Its Doris now say Doris or I'm.staying put.
Now that's how an emergency crew work 👏 💪 Well done
Love ya Reggie ❤
Great response from the RNLI
Looks like that beach has no lifeguards. Thats unbelievable, only for that guy being a swimmer he would have drowned.
I only go into the sea when there's a bunch of qualified lifeguards around. As you never know.
No one talking about that iced gem hairdo on the policewoman?
7:34 I like how you were talking to the young police officer about "the boys" and "that's a job", it's a good job you didn't comment on them being volunteers otherwise you might have offended him.
How many police officers does it take to confirm a drowning person's pronouns? Cringeworthy.
As an ex cop in the 1970` when we were real cops (Glasgow, Scotland) those two tosser police in Blackpool need to change jobs and go stack shelves somewhere. Their job, " The preservation of life and protection of property" Probably had to go find a safe place after.
Reggie were was HE i mean SHE when we needed her!!! lol
Police spent more time getting the kids details than doing anything productive.
Thought that as well. A description is not required.
Real heroes. Gosh the water gets dangerous quickly.
Absolutely
he probably got stuck on the sewage and got swept out
So, the potentially drowning man behind me....what's his favourite colour?
If I saw that on my E bike adventures I would been right in that water helping!
Im surprised you weren't shot, arrested and sentenced to 1000 years for even entering Blackpool 😂.
🤣🤣🤣
💯 heroes 👍
Police stood around like tailors dummies what is the point
Usually i wouldn't say anything to the police about a mistake, or not knowing every little law when talking to youtubers etc. But im for emailing these clowns. Imagine the priority in all that, being gemder and pronouns
That seagull had me worried.
Was that Policewoman eating an ice cream? cause it looks like she has the cone on her head.
Respect to the RNLI, well done guys.
Aye makes a change from helping illegals into Britain
Discussing their gender whilst their friend is drowning. Absolute goons 😂
Crazy times mate
📸📷🚔🚓🏴👀🎥📹📽
are we to watch him die while narrating lol. Was waiting on the Hero to pop out
while hes the only 1 in the sea waving his hands drowning why does any1 need to waste time getting his description? hello? maybe theres 2 in the water and they dont wana make the mistake of saving the wrong 1
Police want I'd from everyone while the lad drowns behind her . They could of waited. Hope the lad recovers well
they two police just stroll down the beach like they only one gear (slow)
There wasn’t a single person there willing to swim out with a float? All those people could have gotten together and formed a human chain in about 5 minutes. I don’t get it. Wow.
👌
I'm old enough to remember when the police service was all about serving, helping and protecting the public...
Civilians rescue while the coppers chat on the beach WTF
R.N.L.I +100 / 100 vs police -100/100
I don't know where they find the time what with the ferry service for all them illegals.
Everyone standinding around whilst someone is drowning and rather than help the Police are taking details
