00:00 Trevor, it must be quite an emotional moment standing next to that board where your dad's
00:08 name is and now being on there as well.
00:11 Yeah, of course.
00:12 Obviously, there's not that many names there, so it came as a bit of a shock to me when
00:17 I was told I was probably going to get it.
00:19 But 46 years of service with the RNLI, it's been recognised, so I'm really proud.
00:27 What does it mean to you?
00:29 I think I've got an in-built sense of duty, probably from my father, so it's just carrying
00:36 on that tradition.
00:37 Even my dad's father was also involved in the 1920s and my late brother in the 60s.
00:43 So yeah, it's an ongoing family thing.
00:45 A team effort, actually.
