Thrill-seekers brave huge waves for traditional Boxing Day dip in Berwick

Event stalwart Andrew Smith piped the hardy souls into the water.

He said: "It's a great opportunity to let everybody dust off the Christmas Day festivities, and it's a great way of people getting together and raising money for local charities."
