Two bodies have been recovered from the cliffs below Whitby Abbey, police have said.
An emergency service rescue operation was launched at 7.16pm on Wednesday after a member of the public spotted the man and woman on the rocks below, North Yorkshire Police said.
The Coastguard helicopter was called in as the tide was coming in quickly, and the two people were taken to ambulance crews positioned near Whitby Abbey at 8.24pm.
