Town's 'logness monster' gets swept out to sea

This is the moment a well known log named "Lizzy the logness monster" was caught up in the high tides of a popular seaside town.

To some, Lizzy was nothing more than a large piece of driftwood, but for others she was an important part of Porthcawl, Bridgend county.

Chris Kitney, 39, who was there to witness Lizzy set up her home on the sand in March 2024, also captured her departure and says Lizzy "brought a lot to the town" and that he will miss seeing her.

He is one of hundreds of fans that have spoken out online to share their sadness at Lizzy's departure, with many saying they were "gutted" to see her go.
