• South and west coast of England, and Severn estuary, remain at risk of flooding through the weekend and into early next week, the Environment Agency says
• Four earlier severe flood warnings for England have been lifted but a storm surge is expected on the Forth later
• A search is continuing for missing 18-year-old Harry Martin, last seen approaching a Devon coast path on Thursday
