Grace Darling's remarkable story is related by a fictional character called Louise - a supermarket worker and member of the local RNLI lifeboat crew. Louise tells us that Grace was born in Bamburgh, Northumberland, in 1815. When she was a few months old Grace went to live on the remote Farne Islands, where her father was the lighthouse keeper. Grace and her siblings spent their time rowing, fishing and beach-combing. When Grace was 10 the family moved to Longstone Lighthouse, an even more remote lighthouse, and it was here that Grace - aged 22 - took part in the sea rescue that made her famous.
