This is the moment RNLI crews rescued stranded tourists from the roof of the car after being cut off by the tide at Holy Island.

A crew from Seahouses RNLI was scrambled to the Northumberland spot after being called out by Humber Coastguard at around 3.30pm on Sunday.

The pair can be seen standing on the roof their vehicle as the water rises on the causeway around them.

RNLI bosses have emphasised to visitors to check tide times before they attempt to cross.
