Emergency services have rescued two people from the River Lune in Lancaster.

Rescue teams were called to the river off Halton Road on Saturday afternoon.

An eye-witness said that four fire appliances and one fire car and two ambulance vehicles were at the scene.

A post on the Hornby Fire Station Facebook page said they were called, alongside crews from Lancaster, Morecambe and Carnforth, and special teams from Preston, to a water rescue, at 12.05pm.

It said that two people were rescued by teams using an inflatable sled.
