Porthcawl RNLI’s volunteer crew were tasked by HM Coastguard to rescue a person in the water at Sandy Bay during the town’s annual Elvis festival.

The charity’s Atlantic 85 lifeboat Rose of the Shires was launched on service and located the person who was being illuminated by the floodlight from the NPAS Police Helicopter. The person was taken onboard the lifeboat and back to the lifeboat station.
