#Rescue - Two tourists cut off by the rising tide at the Giant's Causeway were rescued by coastguard teams on Tuesday evening (18 August), as the Belfast Telegraph reports.
One of the two men, tourists from France and Italy, had to be airlifted by a Royal Navy Sea King helicopter from Scotland, which was subsequently tasked to another incident at Larne Harbour.
