"Before our visit we were unaware of what is involved in running a lifeboat station.

"We have also learnt about the commitment and the training involved here and we look forward to working with the RNLI station to fundraise in the future."

Hartlepool RNLI lifeboat station manager Chris Hornsey said: "It was a pleasure to host our visitors from the Ward Jackson pub and we hope they have learnt about both sea safety and how important their fundraising is and we look forward to their support in the future."
