A CALF had to be rescued after it got stuck along a stretch of the River Thames in Henley.

A statement on Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service’s Facebook page said: "We wish to thank the members of the public for calling this in and waiting with the animal until we arrived.
“It made locating it a lot easier for responding crews.”
