Saundersfoot RNLI lifeguards assisted the coastguard in a search for four missing children on Tuesday afternoon.

Initially, the first report was at 3.50 pm of a three-year-old girl who had become separated from her father, but as the search continued more children were reported missing at the Pembrokeshire beach.

The charity's lifeguards were approach by a concerned father who could not find his daughter. The lifeguards were already searching the beach with the father as the local coastguard team arrived to help.

As time passed, a member of the public approached the lifeguards to say that three children, aged between 10-12, had found a child matching the little girl's description and had taken her to search for her father - unfortunately, they had walked in the opposite direction and were now nowhere to be seen.

As the RNLI lifeguards and coastguard team searched for the four missing children, Tenby volunteer lifeboat crew launched the inshore lifeboat to assist their colleagues in the search.

Thankfully, a member of the public spotted all four children at the far end of the beach and the search was called off at 4.30 pm.

The volunteer lifeboat crew, who had not yet arrived at the scene, returned to the station and the three-year-old girl was reunited with her father.
