Barriers remain in place in Upton-upon-Severn
Flood warnings are still in place but experts predict flood waters will start receding in Herefordshire and Worcestershire over the next few days.

The Environment Agency still has a flood warning on the Severn from Worcester to Upton-upon-Severn, and one on the Wye in Herefordshire.

The Wye was expected to peak on Sunday morning, while the Severn was expected to peak late on Sunday or Monday.

However, agency officials have warned people to remain vigilant.

Flood barriers are still up in Bewdley, Upton and Worcester.
