200 Years of the RNLI

BBC One - Songs of Praise, 200 Years of the RNLI

The Rev Kate Bottley marks 200 years of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution.

The Rev Kate Bottley is in Scarborough to mark 200 years of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution and reflects on the Christian values at the heart of saving lives at sea.

To mark the 200th anniversary of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, the Rev Canon Kate Bottley joins the lifeboat crew in Scarborough to reflect on the Christian values at the heart of saving lives at sea.

Kate takes to the high seas on board the Scarborough lifeboat for a training exercise and hears from the chaplain about the role faith plays in supporting the crew there. 

On the Northumberland coast, Kate explores the importance of faith to Grace Darling, a young Christian whose involvement in a courageous sea rescue in 1838 launched her to national fame and made her an icon of the RNLI. 

With music and hymns beloved by seafarers, including a version of Eternal Father Strong to Save, which features a special new verse dedicated to lifeboat crews.

1.	Eternal Father Strong to Save, St Mary’s Church, Scarborough  
2.	Will Your Anchor Hold, St Pol de Leon Church, Penzance 
3.	Brightly Beams Our Father's Mercy, Mevagissey Male Choir, St Pol de Leon, Penzance  
4.	Across the Lands, St Mary’s Church, Scarborough 
5.	You Restore My Soul, Chris Sayburn and Friends  
6.	I, the Lord of Sea and Sky, St Mary’s Church, Scarborough
