Four people were stuck on the top decks of the tower following a technical fault with the lift, after an alarm sounded earlier in the afternoon.

But after two and a half hours, the group is back on the ground.

Keith Kerslake, 62 from Chichester, has praised the staff for their support this afternoon.

He said: ‘We finally got out of the Spinnaker Tower at around 5.30pm.

‘I must say that the staff were very helpful.’
