An engineer has been reunited with lifeboat crews who rescued him from The Skerries.

Jack was injured while he was carrying out maintenance work on the Skerries lighthouse in April last year.

Two RNLI lifeboats from Holyhead and Moelfre were sent out to give him medical care and take him back to the mainland.

Now well on the mend, Jack visited Moelfre lifeboat station alongside his colleagues Ian and Steve to hand over an £800 fundraising cheque from Trinity House, the general lighthouse authority for Wales, England and the Channel Islands.

Vince Jones, coxswain at Moelfre RNLI, said: "A huge thank you to all the Trinity House staff and supporters for their fundraising."

"We rarely hear how someone is doing after a rescue, so a visit like this is a wonderful full-circle moment. It means a lot to the crew, and every penny raised will go toward saving lives at sea as we head into a busy summer. "
