Bryn Austin, 71, set fire to The Guardian newspaper he had with him to create a small fire and alert search teams to his location.

A retired geologist has been rescued from a cliff in East Sussex after raising the alarm by setting fire to his Guardian newspaper.

"As well as providing brilliant content, it also comes in handy when I go for a walk and want to sit down without getting wet. But in this instance, it saved my life. "It was quite a saga really, but I had every faith that by midnight he would realise there was something wrong and he would phone the police."Police were called shortly after 10pm and managed to locate Bryn’s vehicle in the area.

He said: "I had great faith in the emergency services and the rescue operation was absolutely brilliant.
