Emergency services on Lincolnshire coast admit they've been stretched by the number of call outs
There's been a high number of missing children reported
Emergency services on the Lincolnshire coast say the hot weather has left them struggling to cope with the number of call outs
On Saturday police say they had 10 reports of missing children in just two hours on the coast.
One 13 year old boy tragically died after going into the sea at Skegness, the rest were found safe and well.
He is said to have been from Hereford.
The RNLI at Skegness meanwhile told us the number of call outs for them had increased.
We also spoke to Craig Leyland the leader of East Lindsey District Council about water safety and the increase in call outs.
He said "Very tragic events, my condolences to family and friends, it's something you wouldn't expect coming to the coast for a holiday and good times and then you have this life changing event happen."
"Very early days in terms of an investigation but it is just so so sad for the family."
"On Saturday we had a large number of call outs."
"We do endorse this wristband scheme that's run locally, it encourages people to put wristbands on their children with information on and that works very well."
"We very busy at the moment, there's lots of pressure on emergency services and it's a difficult time for everyone."
"The sea is a very dangerous environment and even though it looks calm and placid there can be currents out there - in the blink of an eye you can be in trouble."
