An 84-year-old woman was airlifted to hospital from a yacht on the Isle of Wight after she fell unconscious.

A coastguard helicopter took her from Newtown Creek to Portsmouth's Queen Alexandra Hospital at about 13:40 BST.

The woman, who is from Surrey and regained consciousness before she reached hospital, was one of about 10 people onboard the 45ft (13.7m) yacht, which had sailed from Lymington.

An RNLI lifeboat was also dispatched from Cowes but was not needed.
