Bembridge RNLI Rescues Cruise Ship Passenger Off Sandown

Bembridge lifeboat volunteers came to the rescue of a passenger who'd become ill on a cruise-ship anchored east of Sandown.

HM Coastguard asked the RNLI crew to take the man, with his wife and their luggage, from the Regal Princess shortly before 8.30pm last night (Sunday).

Lifeboat staff say the person had become unwell with anxiety, and was to be accommodated overnight in Ryde.

The Alfred Albert Williams was recovered by 9.15pm.
