Walker’s spirit reflects RNLI’s

One Fife lifesaver said Alex Ellis-Roswell’s determination captured the spirit of the RNLI.

Operations manager at Kinghorn lifeboat station, Alan McIlravie, said the Englishman’s journey “speaks volumes”.

He added: “It is fantastic how people support the RNLI.

“He is visiting every lifeboat not just in the British mainland but out in Ireland.

“It is a huge undertaking that he’s been doing for something like three years.

“In many ways it speaks not only volumes about him but reflects the ethos of the RNLI.

“Over three years he has faced all sorts of difficulties but there was no giving up.”
