A man and a woman were brought to safety a matter of hours apart after concerns for their welfare were raised at the North East Coast.
Personnel for the South Shields Life Brigade first attended the scene in the Marsden Cliffs area of South Shields on Wednesday afternoon following a call out at 3.29pm after concerns were raised for a female.
The rescue operation took approximately 90 minutes and thankfully the female was successfully brought to safety with crews from Sunderland Coastguard Rescue Team, Tynemouth RNLI lifeboat, Northumbria Police and North East Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust HART team all in attendance.
