Two rowers rescued by ship after capsizing and drifting 920 miles off UK coast

The pair were eventually saved by the ship, which had been diverted to the origin of a radio distress beacon in the Atlantic Ocean.

Teams at the Coastguard's Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre (JRCC) received the signal from the pair at about 6.10am on Thursday.
