A flurry of fresh weather warnings for wind and rain have been issued for Sunday after Storm Eowyn battered the British Isles with hurricane-force winds. Flights were cancelled, major rail routes closed and ferry services axed on Saturday after winds surpassing 100mph hit parts of Britain throughout Friday.

Storm Eowyn has been 'pretty exceptional' and was 'probably the strongest storm' to hit the UK in at least 10 years, the Met Office has said.
