The 26th event in our series celebrating Swansea's 50th anniversary of being a City involved another group who are also marking a significant birthday.
Llwchwr lifeboat is also 50 this year, which is one of the reasons I attended a service blessing the vessel at the end of last month. Tonight we welcomed the volunteers who take the boat out in all weathers up to the Mansion House. They were joined by one of the local councillors, Christine Richards.
Recognising the work of volunteers in local communities is one of the motivations behind these events, but very few regularly put their life on the line to save others, in the same way as this group do. It was an honour to share our hospitality with them.
