A PASSENGER on a ferry heading from Yarmouth to Lymington filmed Wight Sky, the ferry on fire, arriving back in Yarmouth.

Martyn Whittaker, who works at the Sun Inn, Calbourne, said: "They rushed to get everyone onto our ferry so they could clear the area for the one on fire.

"The staff were great and were trying to book taxis and coaches to move everyone, even when they were struggling because of the bank holiday.

"There didn't appear to be any smoke or anything but it may have been contained to an area."

The service is expected to resume as normal this afternoon.
