A Guernsey road was closed on Thursday to remove a hornets' nest.

South Esplanade in St Peter Port was closed from 17:30 BST to carry out pest control, police said.

The road, which was closed from The Slaughter House to La Vallette, reopened at about 21:00 BST, officers said.

No vehicles, pedestrians or cyclists were permitted on the road between those hours.
