Last August Cleethorpes held an Emergency Services Day on the South Promenade, to celebrate what the various services do and showcase the equipment they use.
Popcorn & I had a walk along there and I took a few photo's.

| With the newly finished RNLI Station in the background, the various services were on display. |
 |
| I believe this RIB was part of the Coastguard display. The kids enjoyed sitting on it. |
 |
| The "lockup" vehicle, known in the past as the black maria was popular too. |
 |
| The Search and Rescue vehicle. The beach and sands can be treacherous here, especially when the tide turns and begins to come in. They rescue people caught by the tide and also search for people when they go missing in the Lincolnshire area. |
 |
| Their mascot! |
 |
| Nobody's mascot, just an elderly dog who needs a pushchair/dog buggy. I'm seeing a lot more these days, always worth stopping for a talk. |
 |
| The Police motor bikes where very popular and the police officer was willing to let the kids have a sit on them. |
 |
| Another lad sat up on the bike. I asked for, and got permission from their parents to photograph all the lads. |
 |
| Another aspect of the Police display was the Dog Unit. Of course, I was very keen! |
 |
| This officer was telling folk about the work these dogs do. |
 |
| Still with the Dog Unit. |

What an incredibly useful day, David. It must have been great to see people learning what the emergency services use and do. It all helps to bring people closer together, doesn't it? Your photos are super and it was a gorgeous day. The clouds in the background are beautiful! Look after yourself and Popcorn! Val and Zoe.
ReplyDeleteI photograph many and varied subjects but, if I had to choose, then people at events would be my preferred topic. Thank you for your comments, I value them. David & Popcorn.
DeleteSlow getting here but glad I didn't miss this post. Excellent as always and great subject matter. \love the photos. Good wishes,
ReplyDeleteHi Mike, pleased to get your comment, thank you. I saw on your blog that you may be posting again soon, look forward to that.
ReplyDeleteYour local community seems to come together for events such as this, nice to see that happening. That is quite a motorcycle and I know that the bright yellow caught your eye as did the police dog car. What I really enjoy most about these photos is the sense of lively pleasure that people are getting from being able to see and learn more about what police do and how they do it. Very animated photos! These scenes give me hope that perhaps the situation here in some of our states will return to normal, and the difficult times will be past us. Take care. Ann
ReplyDeleteHello Ann, hope you're well and keeping safe in the snow we've been hearing about.
DeleteI love these events and yes, I was drawn to the bright colours and shiny bits on show. I also found the dog section interesting too. No surprise there. 😊
