Following a blissful looking white wedding in Cornwall, almost 60 wedding guests have found themselves stuck at the venue overnight thanks to Storm Emma.

The wedding, which took place at Netherton Farm near Upton Cross in Cornwall has been hit by the harsh weather, leaving guests unable to leave.

Luckily from photos, the happy couple - Kelvin and Jenny Wyatt - still seem to be enjoying their special day.

Bridesmaid Amy said: "We're stuck at the venue for the night and people will be sleeping on the floor, but we're all in good spirits and have lots of supplies!"

A Greggs delivery driver has been praised for handing out cakes, pasties and doughnuts to stranded motorists on the A1 in Northumberland.

Jon Gowing was also stuck so, rather than letting his load go to waste as it would have done after a certain amount of time, he shared the goodies with other people who had been stuck for hours at Lindisfarne.

Les Goff, another stranded motorist who helped Mr Gowing hand out the treats, said: "He was a top guy."

Roisin Currie from Greggs said the firm was "incredibly proud" of Mr Gowing.

A sponsored walk aiming to raise money for the Big Issue Foundation has been called off due to the extreme weather.

The walk was planned for Friday night in London and it was hoped it would raise £100,000.

The charity is now organising a virtual fundraising event called The Big Step Challenge, in which people aim to take 10,000 steps each day between 12th-15th March, recording their progress on their phones.

One way to keep warm is to get to work building an igloo.

People across the UK have been sharing photos of their finished creations.

Meanwhile property website Rightmove has listed an igloo in Loughborough, external as a "four-bedroom detached house for sale".

Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson said the armed forces stand "ready to help" with the weather still causing major disruption.

He said: "We've already seen the RAF helping doctors and nurses get to some of the most vulnerable people.

"Our service personnel are showing great dedication and a spirited sense of duty as they support local authorities and keep the British people safe."

The police force is looking for a farmer to help it clear a fallen tree.

As snow and ice shut down many of the roads across the region, it seems people are becoming more creative with their modes of transport.

This footage of a man skiing down Ashburton high street shows locals adapting well to the new conditions.

Sledges and quad-bikes were also being put to use on the run into town by locals who left them stacked outside before a warming trip to the cafe.

Snow days done right in Devon.

Already schools across the country are announcing they will be closed tomorrow, including 91 in Buckinghamshire, 177 in Cornwall, 104 Derbyshire and more than 90 in Lincolnshire.

Hundreds of Schools in Wales are expected to stay shut after more than 1,000 closed on Thursday, along with hundreds across East Lothian, Dundee, the Forth Valley and Angus in Scotland.

A baby girl has been born by the side of the road during a snow storm.

Daniella Waring went into labour this morning at home in Catterick, North Yorkshire, so she and her husband Andrew set off for hospital.

Heading across the A66, they ran into heavy snow and realised they did not have time to get to hospital.

They pulled over on to the side of the road in County Durham and Daniella gave birth before paramedics, who were driving up and down the road looking for her, arrived.

Both mother and baby were "happy and warm" when they were eventually located at Elton by a response car.

After being checked over at the scene, they were driven to hospital by a North East Ambulance Service crew.

The newborn girl has been named Sienna.

A lorry driver has been rescued from his stranded truck, after enduring a night on the Woodhead Pass in the Peak District, a mountain rescue team said.
