Storm Dave batters the UK

The storm has brought gusts of up to 75mph to high routes, leading to road closures and power cut warnings in several regions.

Major airports, including Heathrow and Dublin, have seen dozens of cancellations as pilots struggle with high winds.

Met Office officials have warned of potential danger to life from flying debris and have urged the public to exercise caution.

Despite the severity, forecasters suggest the storm will begin to ease late on Easter Sunday, offering some hope for returning travelers.
