Two men in their seventies were rescued from the River Thames last night after capsizing in a dinghy.

Twickenham fire fighters and a passing rower helped the men out the river after they fell-in just in front of The White Swan in Twickenham.

A Twickenham fire fighter said: "They got caught in the tide in a tiny little dinghy. It was a combination of us and a guy in a rowing boat that got them out."

The men are reported to be in a stable condition.
