A mum has issued a warning to visitors to Lincolnshire's beaches after her 12-year-old son was left in excruciating pain when he was stung in the foot by a weever fish.

Gemma Vicary was visiting Chapel St Leonards with her family, including her son Jadyn, on Friday, August 21 but an innocuous trip to the beach soon turned into a nightmare for the whole family.
