People trapped as storm causes flooding across Cornwall
Some people have been left trapped in their cars and homes in parts of Cornwall as heavy rain and gale-force winds caused flooding and disruption.

St Blazey, St Austell and Lostwithiel are the worst affected areas, where water is several feet deep in some places.

Main roads have been closed, landslides have stopped train services in and out of Cornwall and some schools are shut.

A bridge in Lostwithiel is believed to be on the verge of collapse.
