A teenager who died after getting difficulty in a river following a village duck race has been been named.
Police confirmed they had attended the scene in Tameside along with emergency services shortly before 8pm on Wednesday following reports of a person in difficulty in the water.
Officers and fire crews eventually left the scene at around 11pm after medics were unable to save the teen. The tragedy followed the annual Broadbottom duck race, a model duck event which had taken place the Greater Manchester village earlier the same day.
