Beach 'missiles' removed safely
Bomb disposal experts have removed two objects, thought to be World War II missiles, from a Dorset beach where they washed up.

The items were found on sands near Ferry Road, Studland, on Tuesday.

Insp Steve White, of Dorset Police, said a 100m cordon around the National Trust-owned land has now been lifted.

A military Emergency Ordinance Disposal team was called in to dispose of the items and make the area safe. Both have been found to be inert.
