An open day at the Buckie RNLI Lifeboat Station on Saturday attracted big crowds to the harbour.
Locals and visitors from across Moray were given access to both the station and the two lifeboats moored up outside it.
It was the historic vessel, the Laura Moncur, that attracted the most attention after returning to her home port for the first time since 1984.

She served the town for over 20 years between 1961 and 1984 and locals who had memories of her came down to see her.
Buckie RNLI lifeboat coxswain Alan Robertson was pleased about the turnout.
He said: “The whole day went really well, the place was busy from the opening time at half ten till about 5pm. We opened both lifeboats to the public and we had a lot of people who could remember the Laura Moncur come and see her, she got a lot of attention.”
Saturday was also an eventful day for long-time RNLI mechanic Gordon Lawtie, who has retired from the organisation after 25 years.
Mr Lawtie was due to have his retirement meal with his fellow lifeboat crew members at night, but a call-out meant that plans were disrupted.
Mr Robertson added: “The pager going off was unfortunate timing as we were all about to leave for the meal. This was something we had planned for weeks and it was disrupted by a call of danger that we had to go and answer.
“It was a shame we had to miss his retirement meal.”
The call-out was received at 7:45pm, and the lifeboat was sent to tow a yacht, which broke down 22 miles north of Buckie.
While onboard the vessel, one of RNLI’s youngest volunteers celebrated their 18th birthday.
Keiran Robertson turned 18 at midnight on Saturday and the crew were quick to wish him a happy birthday, posting a video of their congratulations on their Facebook page.
