A family with young children are said to be among those turned away from the incoming tide.

More than 50 people were led to safety after becoming cut off by the tide at Morecambe Bay over the bank holiday weekend, rescuers have said.

He warned that while no-one was injured, people visiting the area needed to be alert to the dangers posed by the tide and quicksand. Writing in a Facebook post on Saturday, Mr Parsons said he could "hardly believe" that so many people were out on the bay near the water's edge as the tide "quietly but sneakily" filled the channel around them.
