Cromer RNLI lifeboat volunteers tie the knot at station

Neil Davies and Monika Lewandowska, who are both members of the volunteer crew at Cromer RNLI, got married in Norwich - stopping to take pictures at the end of pier station on their big day.

Mr and Mrs Davies went on to have their wedding breakfast at The Village Inn - the West Runton pub where they both work, which is owned by fellow Cromer lifeboat volunteer Lee Merritt. 

Their reception was held later at The Albion pub, in Church Street, which has history of being a popular watering hole of lifeboatmen.

"It was a perfect day," Mr Davies said.

"I've volunteered for the last five years and my wife joined in February this year. 

"It took a bit of convincing to get her to join, but after hearing my pager go off in the early hours of the morning rather than sitting back and watching me fly out the door she wanted to join in.

"It's all voluntary but we love to help people. It's our way of giving back to the town.

"Most of us are very local. I've lived in Cromer all my life and Monika has lived here for the last 18 years.

"There isn't a day where I don't walk through the street and talk to someone. That's what the whole crew are like - even when we don't have our lifeboat gear on people recognise us. They're all really good to us. 

"It's a great honour to be part of."
