UK coastguards

The RNLI is urging people to check the tides before heading out for a coastal walk.

Staff at Falmouth Coastguard say vessels need to be checked before they go in the water.

One person was pulled from the waters of the Humber estuary and two rescued from a grounded boat.

Those rescued include a child and their mother, who were airlifted to hospital in France.

Incidents included a woman with a broken leg and a man with an ankle injury on Friday, rescuers say.

Alistair Turnbull, 72, from Gatehouse of Fleet, was last seen at about 13:00 on Tuesday.

Rescue teams are looking for the 72-year-old who was sailing a dinghy in the area on Tuesday.

Coastguards and the RNLI were called to rescue the stricken pair off the Isle of Wight.
