At least two incidents involving children playing on frozen ponds or lakes were recorded on Monday.

South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service confirmed they had been called to help children seen on a pond on farmland off Marsh Lane in the village of Arksey, north of Doncaster.

They said: “We’ve been called to an incident this afternoon involving young people playing on a frozen lake.

Please speak to the youngsters in your life about the dangers of doing this - as we’ve seen in the Solihull Lake Tragedy the consequences can be tragic.”

Children were also seeing playing on the frozen lake at Rowntree Park in York – with North Yorkshire Police saying the four boys had smashed the ice with their scooters.

They were spotted by officers on patrol who advised them about the dangers.

Yesterday three boys aged under 11 died when they fell into a lake at a nature reserve in Solihull, West Midlands, while playing on ice.
