FRASERBURGH | 9 JULY
Two children were saved from the North Sea after being swept out 250m from the shoreline. The boy and girl, aged 12 and 13, were being battered by waves and were in danger of drowning. Quickly on scene, the Fraserburgh crew lifted the girl to safety.

Then a crew member jumped into the water (pictured left) and rescued the boy, who was struggling to keep his head above water. The lifeboat crew threw a line to the volunteer and the boy and pulled them aboard. Both children made a full recovery.
