Elizabeth and Ronald Downes were with their two grandchildren, son, daughter and their son-in-law and daughter-in-law on Charmouth Beach in Dorset when the cliff suddenly collapsed.
A family was forced to run for their lives today after a massive rockfall covered the beach they were walking on in hundreds of tonnes of shale rock, mudstone and limestone.
Pictured: The remains of the landslip yesterday 'We got separated from our grandchildren, they were hysterical and crying, they didn't know if we had lost our lives. We were all so frightened and running like crazy. The landslip was near the cliffs of Stonebarrow Hill which partially blocked Charmouth Beach in DorsetA paraglider flies over the top of the landslip near Charmouth Beach in Dorset yesterday'I looked up and saw this very fine dust and knew straight away. I screamed"look up, run" and the top of the cliff just dropped down and everything came at us.
Phil Davidson, a palaeontologist at the centre, said it's very dangerous and people should stay well away from the exposed cliff line. The 14-year-old had been climbing from the same cliff when he got stuck after going 40ft up while looking for fossils Pictured in 2022: The cliffs are made up of sandstone rock that is porous and acts like a sponge with rainwater, which seeps down through it and weakens it over time
