Gravesend's RNLI lifeboat was launched this morning to reports of a capsized dinghy struggling near Greenhithe.

The small dinghy appeared to have capsized and was struggling to right itself at around 11.30am.

After the lifeboat left the station, the crew received news that the dinghy was part of a training excercise and did not need assistance.

With this new information, the crew returned to the station.
