Two rescued from Lough Neagh
Two wildfowlers have been airlifted to safety after being stranded on an island in Lough Neagh in Northern Ireland.

The men and their two dogs were on Rams Island on a duck shooting expedition when they got into difficulties in bad weather on Saturday.

They raised the alarm with a mobile phone.

An RAF helicopter took the men to safety while their two dogs were rescued by lifeboat.
