A teacher drowned after jumping into rough seas to try and save her son who got into difficulty while kayaking, an inquest heard today.

Danielle Chilvers, 37, was caught in strong waves and a suspected riptide as other rescuers managed to help her youngest son, 14, and his friend back to shore.

The mum was seen floating face down beside a shore barrier around 30ft to 40ft off the beach in Waxham, Norfolk Coroner's Court heard.

A surfer swam out on his board to help her and she was brought back to shore with the help of a lifeboat crew which had just arrived from nearby Sea Palling.
