In pictures: People spotted peering over cliff edge in East Sussex

The people were photographed today (Friday, June 9).

Last month East Sussex County Council issued a warning to both residents and visitors about the risks that the county’s cliffs can pose.

Every year thousands of tonnes of chalk falls from the cliffs without warning, posing a danger to those on top and those walking or sitting on the beach below.

Most recently, in March, there was a cliff fall between Cuckmere Haven and Birling Gap.
