King's Coronation medals have been awarded to 17 volunteers from the RNLI station at Barry Dock.
It's been a momentous year for the lifeboat station, which took delivery of a new Shannon class all-weather lifeboat in March and officially opened its new base in the summer as the charity marked its 200th anniversary.
At a recent curry night for crew, the medals - recognising volunteers who have served continuously for at least five years - were presented by Deputy Lord Lieutenant Colin Jones, a former launch authority at Barry Dock.
A similar event was held last month in Penarth, where 23 volunteers in the town were honoured.
Bill Kitchen, lifeboat operations manager, said: "It’s an incredible honour for our volunteer crew to receive the King’s Coronation Medal."
"This evening is about recognising the remarkable commitment and resilience they show every day, balancing careers, family, and life’s demands. The medal is a tribute to their dedication and the strong sense of community they bring to Barry Dock."

Two long service medals were also awarded to Brendan Pitt for his 50 years of service to the RNLI and to Joshua Brown for over 20 years of operational volunteering.
Two volunteers based in the RNLI shop were also recognised - Rosie Fisher, who also fundraises for the charity, and Dave Jones, who organises lifeboat visits for children.
Andy Gavan, coxswain at RNLI Barry Dock, said: "Those who are on call tonight are ready, and as a crew, we will always be ready—24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year—even on a OneCrew curry night!"

The volunteers awarded Coronation medals were Spud Davies, Mark Fisher, David Brooks, David Phillips, Martin Bowmer, Nigel Parry, Dan Brown, Howard Metcalfe, Christopher White, Gareth Williams, Benjamin Phillips, Ian Watts, Jonathan Atkins, Craig Pedersen, Joshua Brown, Brendan Pitt and Rod Lewis.
