Severe flood warnings are in place in the wake of Storm Dennis, with more heavy rain set to fall on already badly-hit regions.

The Environment Agency (EA) said downpours have swelled rivers to "exceptional" levels in parts of Britain.

And evacuations of homes in Monmouth, Wales, were under way after a fresh flood alert was issued for the area.
