These were the scenes on Burnham-On-Sea beach on Saturday morning (July 11th) when Coastguards came to the rescue of a lady who had suffered a suspected broken leg in a fall.

A team of Burnham Coastguards carried the middle-aged woman on a stretcher to a waiting ambulance after she fell near Maddock’s Slade at 9.20am.
