Storm Desmond: The lifeboat volunteer

Maryport Inshore Rescue is an independent lifeboat team of 18 volunteer crew based in the Solway Firth.

They were involved in the rescue and recovery effort across Cumbria after Storm Desmond hit the north-west of England last weekend.

Coxswain Gary Hampson spoke to BBC News about the part played by his team.
