Okay, so Richard Lee here has just won Lifetime Achievement. How are you feeling?
00:05
Surprised to be honest. I wasn't expecting it in the slightest.
00:09
Did you, you didn't even know you got nominated?
00:12
No, I had no idea at all. No idea. So no clue whatsoever. I just assumed this was something to do with lifeboats.
00:19
Raising money and so that was what we were part of so I'm glad I put my jacket on then.
00:25
And what was it that made you join the RNLI and the lifeboat service to start with?
00:30
It was, I think it was touched on in the film, it was just watching the boat go out when I was a child.
00:35
So when I was literally stood there in my wellies and my pyjamas and watching the boat go out.
00:40
So it was, yeah, it was something I always wanted to do when I moved back to the island
00:46
which I did in '97. So 25 years I've been doing it now. So yeah, love every minute of it.
00:52
And do you have any highlights from your time?
00:57
There's highlights and there's also lows as well. I think that's part and parcel of it.
01:02
So there's good bits and then there's some bits that are very sad. But yeah, so it's a mixture.
01:12
And can you talk a bit about the, I guess incident that you got a bronze medal for earlier this year?
01:20
So the bronze medal, it was awarded to myself. But I think the important thing is to get over that
01:27
there is a crew behind me. It's not just me. It says on our shirts, lifeboat crew. I am lifeboat crew
01:33
just because I happened to be helming the boat that day. It could have been any, you know, a number of us on the crew.
01:39
It was, I don't know, I sort of look back on it now and I don't think it was, I've been out in sort of
01:46
what I would consider possibly trickier situations. But I think the powers that be had decided that
01:53
they were going to award me a bronze medal, which I am very, very proud of.
01:58
Amazing. Well that's all my questions. Is there anything else that you want to say?
02:03
No, not really. I just, I mean, I touched on it on the top there. It is a massive organisation that's run purely by charitable donations.
02:13
And it's just phenomenal what everybody does to contribute to it.
02:18
Thank you.
