The coastguard and RNLI were called at 7.30pm last night to waters off Rossall Point where four people had gotten into difficulty.

A coastguard spokesman said: “By the time our teams arrived at the scene the water had come up to their waists.

“It was simply a matter of pulling them out and bringing them ashore and getting them dry.”

He added that none of the four people required medical attention.
