Locals and visitors turned out in force on Saturday for the naming ceremony of Kippford RNLI’s new lifeboat – a year after it arrived on station.
The new boat came to Kippford Lifeboat Station on April 27 last year but pandemic restrictions meant the occasion had to be postponed.
Dry weather held long enough for assembled guests to enjoy the outdoor part of the event, which included naming The Ronnie Sinclair and a service of dedication.
