Minutes later police were called to Tesco in Broad Piece, Littlehampton, where Judge had grabbed a bottle of wine from a shelf, took into the toilets and begun drinking it.

Time: 19:30 Lifeboats launched to Flares - or fireworks Red flares were reported by a fishing boat entering Chichester Harbour and several members of the public. They were reported as being at the top of the Thorney Channel. Both lifeboats were launched with the Atlantic going to search up Thorney Channel and the D-Class searching up Emsworth Channel. Although the weather was clear and a bright moon came out it proved necessary for the Atlantic crew to let off parachute flares to search the shallower water to the east side of Thorney Channel. The Coastguard helicopter joined the search covering both channels and the East Head. With many bonfires and fireworks being let off to the north of both channels it was decided that these had been mistaken for red flares, unless of course they had been red flares used as part of a private bonfire party full report return to previous window

Sussex Police has named the yachtsman as Len King, 74, from Alfriston. and is now treating his disappearance as a missing person enquiry. Talking of his disappearance his wife Stephanie said: "Len is an experienced yachtsman and has been sailing since he was at least 20. Normally we go together but during the week if its calm weather he may go off by himself. He went off just before lunch. I was expecting him home for dinner time. I phoned him several times but his phone was unable to connect so I thought he was on his way back. I called the person who has a boat next to us and he thought we were away. I can't understand what has happened. He is a very experienced yachtsman. He has all his equipment doubled up and is always careful. That is the way he runs things." Insp Roy Apps said: "It is an anxious time for the family. The search is currently suspended and we are liaising with his family as we investigate the circumstances of his disappearance. An experienced seaman Mr King had left Brighton Marina on his yacht on Sunday afternoon and it is unclear as to what has happened to him. A friend reported him missing to the Coastguard at around 9.50pm last night as he had not returned home. His Sunseeker boat was then found unmanned near the harbour wall at Brighton Marina. An extensive search was carried out by the Shoreham and Newhaven Coastguard Rescue teams, Shoreham, Newhaven and Brighton lifeboats along with the Coastguard helicopter from Lee-on Solent and this has now been suspended until new information comes to light."

Time: 13.45 Incident: Tragic death of a local windsurfer Coastguards requested the launch of Hayling and Portsmouth Lifeboats due to a reported serious incident. The D-Class was launched and went to Hayling Bridge but was then re-directed to the area in Langstone Harbour behind the Esso Garage, a popular bay and safe for windsurfing. The Atlantic 85 was also launched to back up the D-Class and were joined by the Portsmouth Lifeboat which had also been launched, all arrived on the scene together. A sailing dinghy crew had spotted a windsurfer rig floating in the water with no-one around but shortly after this discovered a body face down in the water. They managed to get the body on board their dinghy, raised the alarm and took him ashore. Hayling First Responders were rapidly on scene and an Ambulance crew arrived and together they tried to resuscitate the casualty. The Coastguard Helicopter was paged as it was clear the situation was very serious. Mr Boyle was taken by helicopter to QA Hospital but sadly was declared dead on arrival, possibly from a cardiac arrest. The Hayling Lifeboats recovered the windsurfing rig and handed it over to the Police on the scene. Both local windsurfers and the RNLI crews have expressed their shock and sadness that this incident has claimed the life of a seemingly fit and healthy 53yr old local man who has been named as Sean Boyle from Hilsea. full report FIRE & RESCUE - Call Ref: 11067 Time: 14:24-14:42 Location: TOLLGATE HILL, BROADFIELD, CRAWLEY Incident: RTC collision involving 2 cars - no persons trapped - scene made safe by WSF&RS -police and ambulance in attendance WrL Crawley, HRT Crawley FIRE & RESCUE - Call Ref: 11075 Time: 17:37-19:12 Location: HOUSE - PATCHING CLOSE, IFIELD Incident: FIRE Chimney fire - chimney equipment used by WSF&RS - WrL Crawley FIRE & RESCUE - Call Ref: 11076 Time: 17:49-18:37 Location: A27 WESTBOUND CLAPHAM TO HAMMERPOT Incident: RTC involving car rolled and into field - 1 man released by WSF&RS using hydraulic rescue equipment and taken to hospital by ambulance WrL Littlehampton, WrLx2 Worthing, HRT Worthing FIRE & RESCUE - Call Ref: 11079 Time: 18:04-19:05 Location: GORING STREET, GORING Incident: RTC collision involving car and van - 1 man extricated by WSF&RS using hydraulic rescue equipment and electric saw - man taken to hospital by ambulance - scene made safe by WSF&RS - 1 woman also taken to hospital by ambulance WrL Chichester, WrL Littlehampton, WrL Shoreham FIRE & RESCUE - Call Ref: 11084 Time: 19:12-19:24 Location: LINDON PARK - LINDON PARK ROAD, LITTLEHAMPTON Incident: FIRE waste bin on fire - fire extinguished by WSF&RS using buckets of water - deliberate ignition WrL Littlehampton return to previous window

MAN RESCUED FROM CULVERT IN HAYWARDS HEATH Firefighters and a specialist ambulance service team rescued a homeless man from a culvert in Haywards Heath. West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service was called to the stretch of culvert at the rear of the Princess Royal Hospital on Lewes Road in Haywards Heath at 9.51pm. The 44-year old man is believed to have been living rough in the culvert when he became ill and unable to move. Two fire crews from Haywards Heath were at the scene within minutes of the 999 call being received. Working alongside South East Coast Ambulance Service's Hazardous Area Response Team [HART] in dark and slippery conditions, firefighters used a rope and ladder system and a stretcher to rescue the man from the culvert and bring him up the steep-sided bank to safety. The man, who was conscious and breathing, was treated at the scene by paramedics and subsequently taken to hospital. return to previous window
