Police have issued a warning to parents after a group of schoolchildren were spotted skating on a frozen lake in Salford.
Officers received reports that about 15 children had been seen playing on ice at Queensmere Dam, in Queensway, Swinton.
The incident happened just days after four boys, including two brothers and a cousin, died after falling through an icy lake in Solihull, West Midlands. All four children - aged six, eight, 10 and 11 - suffered cardiac arrests after falling into icy water.
