At least five people were killed as Storm Bert battered Britain with 80 mph winds and torrential rain, causing widespread flooding, cutting power to homes and businesses and wreaking road, rail and air travel chaos.

As communities recover from flooding, there are still more than 100 flood warnings in force across England, Wales and Scotland.

Torrential rain doused most of the country, stymying travel and leading to widespread flooding, landslides, fallen trees and power outages.
