This morning, next to a grey sea, a ceremony took place on Douglas promenade to honour a small group of very brave men and women.
The work of the Royal Air Force Air Sea Rescue Unit around the Isle of Man has been officially remembered by a plaque on the sea wall, next to the Sea Terminal.
Jim Ferguson served with the unit and was behind the idea of mounting the memorial:
Bus drivers gather at picket lines
10-day strike got underway this morning
Sea Terminal improvements to begin next month
Key arrival points to be 'enhanced'
TUC and Bus Vannin urge public not to be abusive to bus staff during strikes
Drivers 'deserve fairness, not vilification', says trade union group
Contingency timetable takes effect as bus drivers stage strike action
Ten day walkout gets underway
