Strong winds during Storm Noa caused a large tree to fall and block a road for four hours.

The tree came down onto the B1115 between Monks Eleigh and Chelsworth in Suffolk.

Suffolk police were called at about 15:30 BST and they worked to help clear the rural road which reopened after four hours.

The Met Office issued a yellow warning with gusts between 40 and 50mph (64 to 80km/h) in Suffolk.
