Storm Darragh in pictures: Fallen trees, crushed cars and crashing waves

Storm Darragh has caused disruption throughout the country after its 90mph winds caused power cuts, trees to be uprooted and events and travel to be cancelled.

A rare red weather warning was issued by the Met Office to around three million people in parts of Wales and south-west England on Friday meaning that dangerous, potentially life-threatening winds were expected imminently.

While that warning has now ended, yellow and amber alerts remain in place as winds could still reach up to 70-80mph and the risk of structural damage, fallen trees, flying debris and large waves remains high.

According to the National Grid, tens of thousands of people have been left without power and a number of events and attractions - including Christmas markets, sporting fixtures and all Royal Parks - have already been cancelled today, with millions urged to stay at home.

We have put together a selection of pictures showcasing the weather and disruption around the UK. Some have been sent into us through the BBC Weather Watchers group. Scroll down to have a look.
