Taken by retired coastguard Stuart Facey, this dramatic footage shows emergency services battling to rescue the man trapped in rocks on Sheringham's east beach on Sunday.
Coastguards and lifeboat crew members worked together to rescue the man, holding his head above the water and giving him breathing apparatus and a lifejacket while fire officers manoeuvred him out between huge boulders to free him.

He warned people to take care when swimming, and to keep away from the rocks, which form part of Sheringham's sea defences.
"I've seen many people get into trouble in the sea and, as a granddad and great-granddad, I want to say to parents to tell their children to stay off the rocks," he said.
