Four children and an adult were rescued when attempting to cross the Holy Island causeway outside of safe crossing times.
At 1.59pm on Friday afternoon, the UK Coastguard requested the launch of the Seahouses inshore lifeboat to assist the group who were trapped in their vehicle. Their car had become overwhelmed by the depth of the seawater, with the North Sea up to the vehicle's roof.
Safe crossing times on Friday were from 7.10am until 1pm, while high tide was at 3.21pm. Those in the car made their way to the refuge box where they awaited the lifeboat.
