Villagers near the England-Wales border joined cleaning efforts after flooding caused by Storm Claudia, as farmers rescued livestock and communities rallied around those affected.

Residents of the village of Ewyas Harold, near the England-Wales border, took part in a cleaning operation on Saturday following flooding triggered by Storm Claudia.

The village was placed under a red flood alert on Friday while farmers worked overnight to save animals.

One farmer told Sky News he had brought most of his cows indoors but a few sheep were still out in the flood water.

Nearby aerial images of the adjacent Welsh village of Monmouth also revealed the full extent of the flooding.
