Pictures of an RNLI crew and the lifeboat they used to helped rescue allied troops in Dunkirk have been newly colourised to mark the 85th anniversary of the evacuation.
Coxswain Edward Drake Parker and his crew at Margate Lifeboat Station followed the government’s call to send small vessels to Dunkirk to help rescue some of the nearly 340,000 British, French and Belgian troops stuck there in May 1940.
