Lifeboat crews and beach lifeguards are coming together to pull a boat down Jersey's high street.

They'll be hauling a RIB from St Helier's lifeboat station to King Street and back to raise money for the RNLI.

"The aim of the event is to raise as much money as possible for RNLI Jersey, which depends on donations to help meet the cost of saving lives at sea. The volunteer lifeboat crew members give their time for free, but they need training, well-maintained equipment, lifeboats and shore facilities, which all come at a cost." -RNLI Jersey

The volunteers will also be answering questions about the charity's work.

It gets underway just after 10am this morning.

Today's the day! Come and see us in King Street! 10am onwards. 😁
