Bring on the girls! These four fundraisers have given years of service to help boost the coffers of the RNLI, and they're off to London to pick up their awards.
Between them they have chalked up almost 100 years' service.
Barbara Pearce, vice-president Beryl Robertson and treasurer Annette Rayner have all been with Walton and Frinton Ladies' Lifeboat Guild since it began 25 years ago.
They are to be honoured with gold awards at London's Barbican Centre in May.
Jean Halls, a committee member, will receive a silver award for her efforts.
The group raises thousands of pounds through various events and it is the first time so many of their number have been recognised in this way.
