LIFEBOAT crews were called to three paddleboarders clinging to a buoy off Brownsea Island.

Poole Lifeboat was launched at 2.10pm on Sunday, September 26, in choppy conditions in Poole Harbour.

A spokesperson said: “When the lifeboat arrived on scene, they found the paddle boarders were safely ashore on Brownsea, where they were staying, one crew member went ashore to check they were okay, which they were, so the lifeboat crew returned to station.”
