A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said: "We were called at 7.18pm yesterday (31 May) to reports of a person in the River Thames near Cross Deep, Twickenham.

"We sent an ambulance crew, two medics in cars, an incident response officer, an advanced paramedic and our hazardous area response teams.
