These were the scenes on Burnham-On-Sea jetty on Saturday morning (April 12th) when a young child had to be airlifted to hospital.

The Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance was called to the jetty at 9.20am after a 14-month old boy was understood to have been scalded in an accident.

An ambulance took the youngster to the jetty from a local camp site and the helicopter then flew in, briefly landing on the slipway, before taking him to Frenchay Hospital for urgent treatment.

Police and Coastguards were also called to the scene.
