Douglas lifeboat were called out to assist in the search for a missing person last night.

The RNLI all-weather lifeboat Marine Engineer was launched into heavy rain but with a calm sea and the volunteer crew tasked with making a search of the Marine Drive from Douglas Head lighthouse to Port Soderick.

It was while making a shoreline search using the lifeboat’s searchlights they were advised by Douglas Coastguard at 11.45pm they could stand down and return to station as the missing person had been located.
