A man was airlifted from a beach in Devon after what emergency services described as a "medical condition".

Coastguard Rescue Teams, Sedgewell Cove RNLI lifeguards, and Cornwall Air Ambulance were called to Sedgwell Cove at Bigbury at about 18:58 (BST) on Sunday.

A section of the beach was evacuated for about 40 minutes to allow the air ambulance to land.

A 48-year-old man was taken to hospital with suspected angina.
