Volunteer Crew Member Robert Loughran is now the very proud Father of Harry James Loughran, who was born on 6 July weighing a healthy 9lb 8oz.
As pictured, and in true Conwy RNLI tradition, Harry was photographed in his Dad’s RNLI safety helmet at the lifeboat station recently.
Proud Dad Robert said, 'Steph and I are so happy with the safe arrival of our Son. We would like to thank one and all at the station for the support and best wishes. Family is very important to our volunteer team here at Conwy. The families are our support whenever our pagers sound’.
