Nine decades of Guernsey's Ambulance & Rescue Service will be commemorated this summer.
2 June 2026 will mark 90 years since the first ambulance left the Rohais station and responded to an emergency call.
To commemorate this milestone, Guernsey Museums & Galleries has partnered with the Ambulance Service to create an exhibition.
Outside the Guernsey Museum at Candie Gardens, from 2 June until 6 September, there will be a free display telling the story of those nine decades.
A series of large panels will explain, in words and images, how the service evolved from one second-hand ambulance to the large, comprehensive organisation it is today, which has saved countless lives.
Senior Curator at Guernsey Museums & Galleries, Matt Harvey, says they are excited to celebrate the 'venerated island organisation.'
"The St John Ambulance & Rescue Service has been a lifeline to islanders since 1936 on both land and sea.
"Everyone knows the Ambulance & Rescue Service - they are part of the island landscape.
"But I hope that the display will give visitors a deeper appreciation of their amazing work and highlight the energy, dedication and initiative that their members have shown over the last 90 years.
"I hope people will discover the many examples of how the service has led the way in the development of innovative and ground-breaking advances in emergency response and first-aid care over the years.”
