Llanddulas ship aground: Tributes to helicopter rescue crews

Help

Tributes have been paid to helicopter pilots who rescued seven crew members from a stricken cargo ship that ran aground off the Conwy coast in rough seas.

Two lifeboats and two helicopters were called at 20:30 BST on Tuesday after the ship hit a rock near a quarry jetty at Llanddulas, near Colwyn Bay.

A day after the incident, eyewitnesses and the emergency services have reflected on the rescue operation.
