People have been standing near cliff edges and posing for pictures prompting warnings from patrolling coastguards. Large numbers of visitors travelled to the south coast on Monday and pictures from Birling Gap in East Sussex show people standing on the chalk cliffs. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency said it was "more important than ever" to stay away from the crumbling coastline. "Coronavirus hasn't gone away and your choices might put our frontline responders at risk," it said. "We really can't stress enough how important it is to keep back from cliff edges, There is no 'safe' place to be and the cliffs along the UK coastline are continuously eroding."
