Hundreds of properties suffered power cuts as Storm Darragh swept across East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.

Northern Powergrid said it had dealt with more than 120,000 outages during the weekend.

North East Lincolnshire Council said a clean-up operation was under way.

The authority said staff had worked "around the clock" after winds of about 60mph (96km/h) saw trees toppled and power cuts in some rural areas.
