A mum has described the "nightmare" moment her two young daughters were swept out to sea while on a family holiday.
Milena Smith, from Birkenhead, was enjoying a day out in Barmouth, Wales, with her husband and their two daughters. Mabel, 12 and Elsie, 10, were playing in the water when they started to get into difficulty.
Milena, who can't swim, was forced to watch helplessly as the sisters started "screaming loudly" and began drifting further and further out. Milena shouted to her husband who managed to get Elsie to safety, however Mabel was completely out of sight after having been swept a quarter of a mile out to sea.
