Two people had to be rescued from a Somerset beach after thick fog covered the area.
Coastguard rescue teams from Weston-super-Mare and Burnham-on-Sea were launched on March 29 to search an area where a husband and wife had become separated.
The crews described the fog as "like something from a horror movie" but were thankfully able to locate the pair.

Somerset Live reports a spokesman from the Weston team said: "We were alerted to 2 people lost on Brean Beach, strange we thought, until we arrived and saw the thick fog, it was like something from a horror movie."
After launching a search, a man emerged from the fog and made himself known to the rescue crews, but his wife remained missing.
They wrote: "Our Ops room ‘pinged’ her phone and had a last know location, but unlike on TV, this is not that accurate.

Together we set up a line search of the area and headed out towards the mud. Due to the conditions we had to turn back and await the hovercraft to be launched.
"After a few minutes the fog began to lift and what appeared to be a ‘figure’ was spotted by the team. Two mud techs in full gear headed out and soon disappeared.
"After a while they radioed back with an update...’Sorry guys, it’s a large branch stuck upright in the mud."
Shortly after, BARB reported they had found the woman, who was "safe and well, although rather shaken up".
