A LYME Regis couple celebrated their wedding anniversary by helping a charity they love.
Gilbert and Brenda Tancock, above, have been collecting for various charities for many years, including 35 years for the RNLI.
On Sunday, July 20, they collected £185 in their buckets for the lifeboat charity during the annual Lifeboat Week celebrations, but on the same day Gilbert and Brenda celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary.
The Lifeboat Guild arranged a presentation for them during the Songs of Praise service on the Marine Parade.
Gilbert, 84, and Brenda, 83, said they were ‘delighted’ to have their anniversary marked at the service.
Their work for others less fortunate does not end with collections – over the years they have fostered at least 500 children.
