A man who fell 300ft (91m) to his death from the top of a cliff was posing for a photo at the time, holding on to a tuft of grass, coastguards said.

The "tragic accident" at Seaton in Devon on Sunday afternoon was witnessed by the 39-year-old Polish man's friends and nearby tourists.

The victim was found in bushes at the foot of Beer Hill and rescuers said he would have been killed instantly.

Looks like he found out the hard way that beer on the rocks doesn't taste too good.

The name of the hill kind of says it all doesn't it?
