Emergency services were called at about 18:15 BST on Saturday to attend to a child under 16 in the water at Skegness.

The body of the boy was found after a five-hour search by police and the coastguard, Lincolnshire Police said.

The force said the incident was one of 10 calls about missing children it received in just two hours, adding its thoughts were with the boy's family.

Supt Lee Pache said: "All of the those who were reported missing, other than the child who sadly died, were located safe and well."

The search was carried out by two RNLI lifeboats from Skegness and Mablethorpe, the HMS Helicopter from Humber and Sutton Bridge, Skegness and Wrangle coastguard rescue teams, along with Lincolnshire Police and East Midlands Ambulance Service crews.
