RNLI Teddington is reminding water users to check weather conditions before heading onto the Thames.

It’s after the crew had to rescue a 20-foot cabin cruiser stuck at the top of Teddington Weir, with two adults and two children on board.

The vessel had suffered engine failure and the wind had pushed it downstream before a member of the public called 999.

Teddington’s Lifeboat service is made up of volunteers and the Weir there is the longest on the Thames, with 18 gates.
