A 25-year-old woman was discovered lying unconscious on the roof of an East Morton pub in the early hours of yesterday.

Firefighters were called to the scene by a passer-by who spotted her on top of the Busfeild Arms, just after midnight.

The pub was still open at the time, but it is not known how or why the woman was on the pitched roof.

Firefighters used a hydraulic platform to rescue her.

Still unconscious, she was taken in an ambulance to Airedale Hospital and treated for hypothermia.

It is believed the woman had been on the roof for at least an hour.
