Cruise ship rescue by coastguard

The Norfolk coastguard has co-ordinated the rescue of a 57-year-old passenger taken ill on a cruise liner.

The man was taken seriously ill on Tuesday on the P&O cruise ship Ventura which was in the North Sea travelling to Southampton.

An RAF rescue helicopter from Leconfield, Yorkshire, and the Cromer lifeboat went to the ship and the man was winched from the deck.

He was taken to Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital for treatment.
