Three children who were missing on the Thames were found safe and well by a Teddington lifeboat crew yesterday (October 26).

The Royal National Lifeboat Institution sent out a volunteer crew at 3.23pm to look for the three children after they were reported missing.

The trio were found in a kayak near Eel Pie Island – an island just off the banks of Twickenham.

The Royal National Lifeboat Institution has been approached for more information.

Teddington Lifeboat tweeted: “Volunteer crew launched at 3.23pm yesterday to search for three missing children in a kayak near Eel Pie Island.

“All found safe and well.

“Please remember to have a means to call for help if out on the water.”
