    Girl being carried out of the sea by a lifeguard at Cromer

    A short while ago we heard from Cromer lifeguard Rob Riches on the dangers of the sea - and he's now been involved in carrying a girl out of the water...

    Fran Heriot and family, including her daughter Halle, are visiting from Peterborough for the day.

    "Halle got caught by an unexpected wave so we needed just a little help getting out of the water," said Fran.

    "We love the beach, how clean it is and having a lifeguard nearby is really important to us as you’ve seen.

    "We came last week for the fist time. People are really spaced out on the beach, so it feels like a really safe place to come with your family bubble."
