Former 007 actor, Daniel Craig, has given the Royal National Lifeboat Institution a truly unique birthday present.
In an effort to help raise funds for the RNLI, the 56-year-old has donated his personal limited edition 007 x Triumph motorcycles.
The two motorcycles will feature at auction and are modelled after the bikes that appeared in the 25th James Bond film, No Time To Die.

Both the #003/250 Scrambler 1200 Bond Edition and the #001/250 Tiger 900 Bond Edition will be auctioned off.
The winning bidders will also have their bikes hand-signed by Craig.
The bikes will now be heading under the hammer at the Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show.
The event will take place from 12 to 13 October in Staffordshire, as reported by Luxury Auto News.
Funds accumulated from the donated bikes will be gifted to the RNLI as a birthday gift from the actor.
With the RNLI celebrating its 200th anniversary, 007 couldn’t resist offering a helping hand.
Craig, who ended his role as the iconic MI6 secret agent in 2021 after five films, has been a lifelong supporter of the RNLI.
The 56-year-old, from Chester, lent his support before when he joined a lifeboat crew at Ramsgate.
Daniel Craig said: “The RNLI has been close to my heart all my life since growing up near the RNLI station at Hoylake.
“I have incredible memories of going afloat with the RNLI crew at Ramsgate to experience first-hand what it’s like to be part of the organisation that has saved over 146,000 lives since starting up over 200 years ago.
“I am honoured and immensely proud to support the RNLI and hope the auction of Triumph’s Limited Edition Bond motorcycles proves popular.
“The riding experience with Lee Morrison and Paul Edmondson adds another unique and exciting dynamic to the lots.
“I worked with Lee on Casino Royale, all the way through to No Time To Die; the opportunity is not to be missed and will help raise funds for the truly lifesaving cause that is the RNLI.”
Jayne George, RNLI director of fundraising, said: “It’s incredible to have Daniel’s support in our 200th year and continue our special relationship which started back when he was a child in Hoylake.
“As a charity, we rely on donations to achieve our mission to save everyone.
“The money raised from the auction will make a huge difference.
“It will enable us to invest in vital training and equipment for our lifesavers as well as helping us to deliver water safety advice to the public so we can prevent people getting in trouble at sea.”
