Thursday’s stormy weather started as it meant to go on during the early hours as the heavy wind and rain of Storm Ciaran caused crashing waves in coastal areas of southern England.
Travel was heavily disrupted later in the morning as roads and rail tracks were blocked with fallen debris and flights were cancelled.
The Channel Islands and the southern coast of England have suffered the most.
No matter how bad the weather gets, though, dogs still need walking.
