A new water safety campaign's being launched by Kent Fire and Rescue prior to the May Day bank holiday weekend.

"Got Ducked, Fell In" aims to make people think before they drink near water by highlighting high-risk spots across the county.

It comes after Kent Fire and Rescue attended more than 335 water rescues in the past nine years.

It's been backed by the family of Ben Savage who died after falling into the River Medway in December 2016.
