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.
