Lee, a dedicated crew member who had been with Filey Lifeboat since he was 18, died suddenly earlier this month, aged just 46.

His funeral takes place at 2.30pm at Octon Crematorium.

In view of the current restrictions on the numbers allowed to attend, the funeral cortege will travel along Filey seafront at about 1.30pm that day.
