Drone video shows flood-closed rowing museum

Aerial video shows the extent of flooding in a town along the banks of the River Thames.

The River and Rowing Museum in Henley-on-Thames closed its doors to the public because the high water levels made the entrance and car park inaccessible.

"At least we can say we have a truly interactive river experience these days," museum director Steve O'Connor joked.

He said a "major clean up operation" would take place.

Berkshire and Oxfordshire continue to be affected by flooding and vulnerable residents living in parts of a flood-hit village have had to leave their homes.

Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead council said the decision to evacuate those with additional needs in Wraysbury was taken on Monday night.

The counties have several flood warnings currently in place.
