The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) is consigning the 7,500 pagers - which it used to summon its volunteers to lifeboat stations - to a watery grave.

The RNLI is replacing around 2,500 pagers per year. The new gadgets are smaller than their predecessors and have a range of different ringtones.

Pictured is a 'Mersey' class of all-weather lifeboat used at the Lytham St Annes lifeboat station on the North West coast of England.
