Dramatic aerial pictures reveal the shocking extent of flooding in Bewdley after flood barriers were breached overnight leaving homes and businesses under water.

Floodwater started gushing over the barriers in the Worcestershire town "like a tidal wave" as the River Severn rose to near-record levels.

The temporary defences were installed earlier this week in a bid to protect homes and business in the aftermath of Storm Christoph.

But the full impact of the swelling river arrived early this morning (Sat) as barriers on Beales Corner were breached and water spilled into nearby properties.
