The moment that a Glengormley dad goes head first into the sea captured perfectly on camera

This was the moment that a Glengormley dad fell head first into the sea after trying to pose for a picture on a rock.

Mark and Ashley Desano had gone to Millisle for the weekend with their children, to stay at a caravan they own.

On Sunday morning they decided that they would go for a walk on the beach.

While there, Mark wanted to have his picture taken standing at the end of a trail of rocks that led out into the water.

Tentatively walking across the rocks, which appeared to look quite slippery, he suddenly lost his footing and fell head first into the sea.

His wife Ashley managed to catch the moment perfectly on her camera, as Mark's feet poke out of the water with the rest of his body submerged.

Ashley said: "We decided that we would go down to our caravan at the weekend for a few days with the kids and went out for a walk on the beach on Sunday morning.

"We got to a rocky section and my husband Mark said that he wanted a nice picture of him stood on the edge of some rocks.

"He slowly made his way along the rocks to get to the point that he wanted, when he suddenly fell head first into the water. I can't believe that I managed to get the picture that I did and everyone thinks that it is hilarious.

"Thankfully he wasn't hurt, although he was rather embarrassed about falling in."
