A man was rescued by lifeboat crews after entering the sea in Blackpool.

Volunteers from RNLI Blackpool were called to reports a person had entered the sea opposite the Imperial Hotel at around 7.05pm on Wednesday (February 22).

The inshore lifeboat (D-862) launched and headed to the scene.

The crew located the casualty and brought him back to station.

“All safe and well,” a spokesman for RNLI Blackpool said.

If you spot someone in trouble, call 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard.
