After the Prize Giving there was a special treat for all who had booked a place on pirate ships, ‘Yarmouth Rose and Ramblin’ Rose’, courtesy of Pirate Peter Lemonius – the Lifeboat Demonstration off the Pier.
Coxswain Howard Lester and his crew put on a fine display of rescue techniques, some involving the Coastguard Helicopter.

Those on the ‘Roses’ and those watching from the Pier enjoyed a great show, and some late evening sun.
