Storm Dave batters Britain

Britain is reeling from the impact of Storm Dave, which brought hurricane-force gusts and freezing temperatures to much of the country over the Easter weekend.

In Greater Manchester, fallen trees caused significant damage to vehicles and rail infrastructure, with some incidents resulting in localized fires.

While weather warnings have begun to lift, authorities are advising the public to remain vigilant as flood risks persist.

The storm also forced the suspension of major sporting events, including a County Championship cricket match in Durham.
