RESCUE teams were called out to reports of people stranded by the tide on the Northumberland coast.

Coastguard teams from Seahouses, Berwick, and Howick responded to the incident, on August 12.

A post by Seahouses Coastguard on Facebook said: "The RNLI Seahouses Lifeboat Station D-class was also tasked to assist, with teams responding to assess the situation and establish the safest way to assist those involved.

"Fortunately, the persons were able to make their own way to safety before further assistance was required.

"A good reminder of the importance of checking tide times and allowing plenty of time when exploring our coastline."

No further assistance was required.

If you do find yourself in difficulty, never hesitate to call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
