This is the moment a seven year-old boy was rescued after getting stuck in the mud on a beach.

The boy became stranded for 40 minutes while attempting to reach the sea - and his mum called for help when she was unable to reach him. Coastguards from BARB Search and Rescue used a hovercraft - with the help of two mud rescue technicians - to safely free him.
