Lifeboat week continued in Weymouth yesterday evening with an exciting display off the coast. 

Check out our gallery to see the life boat and coastguard teams in action.

The RNLI's Lifeboat Week is taking place from Sunday, July 28 to Saturday, August 3 to raise funds and awareness of the charity's work. 

It's extra special this year as the RNLI celebrates its 200 year anniversary and last night (Monday, July 29) a lifeboat and coastguard display wowed crowds in Weymouth Bay.
