The coastguard has warned people to steer clear of part of the coastline after part of a cliff collapsed.

Dramatic pictures show the extent of the fall between Ramsgate and Dumpton, which is thought to have happened shortly before 10am.

Margate Coastguard has issued a notice urging people to stay away from the area.

A spokesman said: "It has been reported that a recent cliff fall has happened on the Thanet coastline.

"HM Coastguard Margate would like to urge people to stay away from these areas as they are very dangerous.

"In a coastal emergency dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard."
