An amber weather warning was issued as Storm Dave swept across northern England, Wales, and Scotland over the Easter weekend.

The high winds resulted in numerous incidents of fallen trees blocking railway lines and damaging residential properties, including a notable case in Stockport where a tree crashed into a block of flats.

While some weather alerts have been lifted, authorities are advising the public to remain vigilant as flood warnings persist in several regions.

The storm has also impacted sporting events, with Durham's Riverside Ground declared unsafe for play due to structural damage.
