Beadnell Harbour could be closed to public as daredevils risk death diving in front of moving boats

So-called 'tombstoning' and diving at Beadnell Harbour is putting lives at risk, according to harbour master Anthony McAdam. And if it doesn't stop the Beadnell Harbour Fisherman's Society might be forced to fence off the picturesque piers.

The society, which owns the harbour, has recently installed new signs warning of the dangers of jumping from the walls, but local fishermen say they're being ignored.
