A BBC news reporter was overcome with emotion after breaking the news that three young boys had died after falling through ice on a frozen lake in Solihull. Joanna Gosling was breaking the tragic news just after the update was confirmed by police just after 11am on Monday.

Three boys aged eight, 10 and 11 died after being pulled from an icy lake. A fourth boy, aged six, remains in a critical condition in hospital.

Police say the families of the children are "absolutely devastated". West Midlands Police say one police officer suffered hypothermia trying to punch through the ice to rescue the children.
