What's it like to be rescued by RNLI lifesavers on the River Thames?

Did you know that the RNLI's busiest lifeboat station isn't on the coast? It's on the River Thames.
When Linda Martin collapsed on a sightseeing boat on the Thames, she was surprised to hear that the RNLI were launching to her rescue. Hear from Linda and Tower Lifeboat Station Commander Steve King as they tell the rescue story.

The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, lifeboat crews around the UK and Ireland are ready to launch to help those in need. Whether you're stuck on a sinking ship, cut off by a rapidly rising tide, or in the water and close to drowning, RNLI crew members will drop everything to come to your rescue. The vast majority of RNLI lifeboat crews and station staff are volunteers.
But it’s not just lifeboats. RNLI lifeguards patrol 242 beaches, keeping people safe, providing safety advice and rescuing those in trouble. Education volunteers visit schools and swimming clubs to help teach the next generation how to enjoy the water safely. And volunteer fundraisers and shop workers give up their time to generate vital funds. The RNLI is also working to help communities around the world that are most at risk of drowning.
If you spot someone in trouble in the water, call 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard.
