Mural proudly adorns East Cowes wall in honour of RNLI

A mural is adorning a wall in East Cowes, in honour of the RNLI.

The RNLI mural was painted by artist Daev Walsh in recognition of 200 years of the RNLI, and was completed yesterday (Friday, May 24).

It is to celebrate the lifeboat building history of the town, and its contribution to lifesaving.

The mural has been supported by GKN, RNLI, the Isle of Wight Council, East Cowes Town Council and East Cowes Community Partnership.
