Flooding: People flee homes for Christmas after heavy rain

Homes, shops and roads were all affected when floods struck in Wales.

In Newport, Mary Pring was forced to leave her house when it was wrecked by the rainwater.

The 78-year-old said had been planning to shield over Christmas: “I was going to stay on my own on Christmas but now I will have to go to my children. I couldn't live in that, it's dreadful."

Cardiff, Newport, Monmouthshire and Vale of Glamorgan were all hit by the bad weather.
