Storm Arwen: UK battered by winds of almost 100mph

The UK felt the full force of Storm Arwen with gusts of almost 100 miles per hour battering some areas.

One man died, buildings were damaged and trees blown down in the "damaging" winds.

The Met Office said speeds hit 98mph at Brizlee Wood in Northumberland.

While the red weather warning expired in the early hours of Saturday, the forecaster said amber and yellow warnings for wind remained in place, with the expectation of "some very strong gusts" in many areas.

People were still advised to only travel if absolutely necessary, and the Met Office described gusts overnight as "damaging" and having affected "a wide swathe of the United Kingdom".
