This is the moment little Finley Thomas Michael was christened on a lifeboat at an RNLI organisation where his dad helps to save lives at sea.
Michael Brown is a volunteer crewman with the Tynemouth RNLI. When his first child Harry, now five, was born, he and his wife Laura decided to have his christening on a lifeboat in April 2018. Now, their second child Finley, two, has been christened in the same way.
The ceremony took place aboard the stationary Severn class all-weather lifeboat Osier on Sunday afternoon, led by Rev Malcolm Hal, of Christchurch, North Shields. Proud parents Laura, 36, and Michael, 39, watched on, alongside family, friends and lifeboat crew members.
