Parents of London teenagers trapped by Kent tide raise £5k for RNLI

The parents of a group of teenagers, who were saved after being trapped by rising coastal tides, have raised money to thank their rescuers.

The 34 youngsters and two adults from Ahvas Yisroel Community Centre in Stamford Hill, London, became stuck in an area in Kent prone to rock falls.
An RNLI helicopter and three lifeboats rescued them on Monday evening.
The parents have now raised £5,000 and said they would continue to raise funds for the rescue charity.
Mark Finnis, coxswain of Dover RNLI, said the group had passed "nine warning signs" deterring them from the walk.
The teenagers had to use their mobile phones to shine lights so the lifeguards could find them.
