Skegness and Mablethorpe Coastguards and the local RNLI were called to help police search for a young girl reported missing on Skegness' central beach on Saturday afternoon.

The 10 year-old was last seen at the water’s edge and had been missing for three hours.

Two walking search parties were also sent out, and after searching for an hour-and-a-half, the child was located by police ‘safe and well’.
If you see a coastal emergency, dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
