This is the shocking moment two drunk revellers were rescued by firefighters from the top of Coventry Cathedral.

The sozzled pals clambered up the 90-metre (295ft) high tower on Sunday (12/8) night.

Pictures tweeted from the scene show the men gripping onto the concrete pillars at the top of the ancient cathedral.

West Midlands Police, West Midlands Fire Service and West Midlands Ambulance Service dashed to the scene just before 11pm.

The pair were safely brought down with the help of a hydraulic platform before being arrested on suspicion of trespassing.

Pete Drummond, Research, Development, Technology and Innovation Station Manager at West Midlands Fire Service, wrote: “Not the brightest thing to be doing on a night out, 2 adult men decided it was a good idea to scale Coventry Cathedral endangering themselves and others for a laugh.
