Two children got into trouble while paddleboarding off one of Norfolk's most popular beaches.
The pair were enjoying the warmer weather at Holkham when they began to be blown far off the coast by some unexpected strong winds.
The southerly winds meant that despite their efforts, they were unable to paddle back to the shore.

Luckily, two beachgoers swam out to sea and managed to return them to safety.
In the meantime, HM Coastguard became aware of the children and paged Wells RNLI to help in the rescue.
The inshore lifeboat team were launched and headed around the coast to Holkham, where they met with family and provided medical checks to everyone involved.
