A spokesperson for Lancashire Police said: "This took up policing resources along with two pumps from Lancashire Fire and Rescue in order to retrieve them from the roof.

"We understand that the majority of children are not at school and want to enjoy the sunshine, but if your child leaves the house please make sure you know where they are otherwise we could be knocking on your door to return your child or even worse asking you to attend the morgue."
