Guy Addington, lifeboat volunteer, has helped save 13 lives as a member of the RNLI. He was awarded an MBE in June and has been invited to attend the Queen’s funeral and had the honour of meeting the Queen around 12 years ago when she told him a moustache he had grown as part of a fundraising venture “didn’t suit him at all.
Mr Addington, who has been a volunteer since the age of 17 and also has a full-time role with the RNLI as a water safety lead, says he felt total disbelief when he discovered he had been awarded an MBE this year. “I feel mixed emotions about it now as it is one of the most amazing things that has ever happened to me,” said the married father-of-two. “But it is now tinged with sadness as I was in the last cohort of people to be honoured by Her Majesty and it is sad that I won’t get to meet her again.”
