This summer’s scorching weather has seen a rise in jellyfish on British beaches - and you’ve been out spotting our slimey friends as they wash up on our sands.

As the tide went out on one of our region’s beaches over the weekend, one family spotted a huge red creature washed up on a rock.

Their find, thought to be a lion’s mane jellyfish, inspired all of you to get in touch with your own pictures.

Click through our picture gallery above and meet some of our beach-loving neighbours. Check it out to see if we used your photo!
