Sovereign Harbour, Eastbourne, UK. 27th Aug, 2022. Earlier today a flotilla of small boats including the RNLI All Weather lifeboat Diamond Jubilee sailed from Eastbourne's Sovereign Harbour to the Sovereign lighthouse just 11km off shore. The once manned lighthouse was commissioned in 1971 serving mariners for over 50 years. Lighthouse men left the platform in 1994 following its automation. Having now reached the end of its predicted life the structure is to be removed for safety reasons. Credit: Newspics UK South/Alamy Live News
