An eyewitness has described how he saw a helicopter crash off the coast of East Yorkshire.

Chris Palmer was walking with his parents near Flamborough Head when he heard a "really loud crack".

He said that the aircraft, which looked privately owned, "started to descend, like a plane when it lands".

However, Mr Palmer said he did not see the helicopter hit the sea.

Emergency services have arrived at the scene.
