A missing three-year-old has been found safe and well after a search operation in Pembrokeshire.

Tenby RNLI, the coastguard rescue team and lifeguards on the south beach assisted the search.

The town's lifeboat crew and lifeguards also helped a swimmer who got into difficulty off Giltar Point and was rescued by a passing boat.

In Rhyl, two children were rescued and a small child was given first aid, according to the coastguard.

Rescue teams also helped "multiple persons stuck on sand banks and cut off" along the coast during "another busy afternoon", as Wales recorded the highest temperatures of the year so far, reaching 30C in Cardiff.

In Bridgend county, a man was rescued by the RNLI after getting caught by the tide between Rest Bay and Porthcawl.
