Three rescued on 'intense' night for lifeboat crew
A lifeboat crew helped save a life and rescued two more people during an "intense" 10-hour period on the Humber estuary, managers have said. Humber Rescue, which is based in Hessle, near Hull, said it responded to a number of serious callouts on Friday. In one incident, a person was pulled from the water. Two other people, including an elderly man, were rescued from a vessel stuck on mud near Brough. Paul Berriff, the founder of Humber Rescue, said: "To save the life of another is one of the highest honours a person can carry." A lifeboat was launched shortly after 18:00 BST after a report of two vessels coming aground near Brough, a spokesperson for Humber Rescue said. However, while en-route, the boat was redirected to another emergency nearby. A person was pulled from the water on to the boat and given immediate care. The casualty was then taken to hospital by ambulance for further treatment. The crew returned to the grounded vessels near Brough, but were called to reports of another person in the water near the lifeboat station, the spokesperson said. This turned out to be a false alarm and, after refuelling, the crew launched again to help two stranded people on one of the grounded vessels. A rescue helicopter was deployed to assist by illuminating the scene and the lifeboat crew carried out a successful mud rescue with the support of coastguard teams from Cleethorpes, Hornsea and Hull. The two people were taken to shore, where they were checked over and found to be well and in good spirits. A sailor on the other vessel chose to remain on board to float off on the rising tide. Humber Rescue is an independent lifeboat charity, which provides rapid search and rescue operations across the Humber estuary. Last year, volunteers attended more than 130 call-outs, according to the service. Mr Berriff said: "The last 10 hours have shown, once again, why Humber Rescue exists and why it must continue. "I'm extremely proud of every crew member involved for their courage, calm, and relentless commitment to those in need."

Country park tunnel gets mural to deter vandalism
A mural has been unveiled at a country park in an attempt to deter graffiti. Ripple Effect by Emma Garness has been painted in a pedestrian tunnel at Hessle Country Park and celebrates the surrounding land and water. It was designed in consultation with the Friends of the Humber Bridge Country Park group and the Humber Rescue lifeboat group. The area around the Humber Bridge has been plagued by vandalism, including memorial benches being damaged and a newly-installed flood barrier being smashed. The mural was painted by students from Malet Lambert School, Hull, and members of Gilberdyke Youth Club. Ms Garness said she was thrilled with the pupils' work. "They were all a massive help, and as a group they were a force of nature," she said. An East Riding of Yorkshire Council spokesperson said: "In our experience, other sites benefitting from a mural rarely, if at all, suffer from more incidents of graffiti, meaning that there is a long-term improvement to the visual amenity of the area and no cost to the public purse in removing it." Lyn Healing, the council's cabinet member for housing and public protection, said the authority was committed to tackling issues such as graffiti. "This is a fantastic initiative and it's great to see so many volunteers play an active role in improving our communities," she said.
