A family narrowly escaped disaster after unknowingly playing near a World War II bomb on a beach in Burry Port, Carmarthenshire. Kelly Gravell and her two young children mistook the seaweed-covered device for a buoy during a beach outing. Photos show six-year-old Erin and four-year-old Ellis jumping on the object, unaware of the danger. Reflecting on the close call, Kelly said, “We were close to disaster – it’s shocking.” The family plans to return to the beach but will be more cautious in the future. Officials apologized for the beach closure, stressing that safety measures were swiftly taken.
