A woman was rescued from the sea in Blackpool this morning.

Blackpool’s Beach Patrol leapt into action and two lifeguards waded through the surf to reach her and she was brought safely to shore.
The woman appeared to be wearing a wetsuit and it was reported she might have been surfing off the coast before getting into difficulty.
