A 10-year-old boy in England has said he thought he was moments away from dying when he was swept out to sea during a day trip to the beach with his family.

Lifeboat crews believe Ravi Saini’s life was saved by his use of the Float To Live technique he learned watching TV programmes about ocean rescues.
