Pictures show that a pub in Swindon is ever more waterside than usual after Storm Bert flooded a nearby park and road.

Diners and drinkers at the pub can usually enjoy a meal or refreshment beside the river which runs by its garden, but will now be able to enjoy 360 views of sodden Swindon.

Much worse flooding has been experienced in Chippenham which has been described as “underwater” by our reporter.

There are significant delays on the A419. Also closed are the A303 and A3102.
