A body has been recovered from the bottom of cliffs at Beachy Head.

Eastbourne RNLI has been working with the Dover Coastguard to retrieve the body, which was discovered late last night.

A spokesman from Eastbourne RNLI said: "It was found on the tide line at the bottom by the sea. The coastguard regularly patrols the area as it is of course a renowned suicide spot, but it wasn't suitable to recover last night because of the tide."
