Volunteers and paid members of Jersey's various emergency services have posed for a photoshoot to mark Emergency Services Day.

Known as National 999 Day, the event on Monday is supported by The King and government as a way to honour the men and women of the emergency services.

To mark the occasion, Jersey's RNLI said it brought together a team of members from across the island's emergency services, as a way of marking their invaluable contribution.

The RNLI said the collaborative effort underscored the importance of teamwork and dedication.

'Crucial role'

The RNLI is currently marking its 200th anniversary.

It said: "Emergency Services Day is an opportunity for the public to show their support and appreciation for the dedication and bravery of our emergency services personnel.

"It serves to educate the public on the responsible use of emergency services, basic lifesaving skills, and the various career and volunteering opportunities available within the sector."

The RNLI added: "Volunteers in Jersey play a crucial role in the emergency services family, working alongside paid personnel to contribute significantly to the safety and wellbeing of our community.

"Their combined commitment, selflessness and professionalism are truly commendable."

Volunteers in the image include personnel from the Air Rescue Emergency Drone Team, Channel Islands Air Search and Jersey Ambulance Service.
